[The hypercalcemia syndrome in ovarian carcinoma]

Hypercalcemia demands special importance among the paraneoplastic endocrinopathology because of its frequency. The chronically developing hypercalcemia mostly disappears after successful treatment of tumor disease and it can be kept under control. But the acute hypercalcemic crisis requires a quick and effective therapy to normalize the serum-calcium-level because of threatening life. The procedure of treatment is presented by means of a case-report of a young patient with advanced ovarian carcinoma.
