Hyperglycemia associated with renal cell carcinoma
Urology
|December 1, 1986
Abstract:
A case of renal cell carcinoma presenting with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus is reported. After a radical nephrectomy, the diabetic state completely resolved. Laboratory studies failed to reveal any endocrinopathy responsible for the diabetic state. Thus it appears that hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus can now be included with the other paraneoplastic endocrinopathies associated with renal cell carcinoma.
