    This study reports two childhood leukemia cases with hypercalcemia. One case of acute granulocytic leukemia showed calcinosis, while acute lymphocytic leukemia presented with bone destruction and fractures, responding well to chemotherapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Hematology
    • Medical Research

    Background:

    • Hypercalcemia is a rare but serious complication in pediatric malignancies.
    • Understanding the mechanisms of hypercalcemia in leukemia is crucial for patient management.
    • This report details two distinct cases of childhood leukemia associated with hypercalcemia.

    Observation:

    • The first case involved a child with acute granulocytic leukemia who developed generalized calcinosis post-mortem.
    • The second case presented with acute lymphocytic leukemia, hypercalcemia, and significant bone lesions leading to pathological fractures.

    Findings:

    • Both cases illustrate the varied clinical manifestations of hypercalcemia in childhood leukemia.
    • The acute lymphocytic leukemia case demonstrated a positive response to chemotherapy despite severe bone involvement.

  • A review of literature on malignancy-induced hypercalcemia mechanisms is included.

    • Implications:

    • These cases highlight the importance of monitoring calcium levels in children with leukemia.
    • Early recognition and management of hypercalcemia can potentially improve outcomes.
    • Further research into the pathophysiology of hypercalcemia in leukemia is warranted.
