Abstract:
Hypercalcemia of malignancy associated with lung, gastrointestinal, and hematologic malignancies is well-described in the literature but has rarely been reported with gynecologic cancers. Even among gynecologic malignancies represented in literature with hypercalcemia, there are only a handful from endometrial carcinoma. Here we describe an atypical case of a patient with endometrial carcinoma who presented with symptomatic hypercalcemia. This case report investigates the atypical presentation of an endometrial carcinoma.
