Background:

Malignant lymphoma is a hematologic malignancy.
Hypercalcemia is a common complication of malignancy.
Bone metastases are a frequent cause of cancer-related hypercalcemia.

Observation:

Three cases of malignant lymphoma with hypercalcemia and normal radiological bone imaging are presented.
Literature review on hypercalcemia in lymphoma patients without bone abnormalities was conducted.

Findings:

Hypercalcemia in malignant lymphoma can occur without radiological evidence of bone involvement.
Potential mechanisms for hypercalcemia in this context include paraneoplastic syndromes or ectopic hormone production.

Implications:

Early diagnosis of hypercalcemia in lymphoma is vital.
Prompt treatment, including chemotherapy, can manage both hypercalcemia and the underlying lymphoma.
This highlights the importance of considering non-skeletal causes of hypercalcemia in lymphoma patients.
