Abstract:
Hypercalcemia associated with endometrial carcinoma is rare. We report a patient with serous papillary endometrial carcinoma with paraneoplastic hypercalcemia due to parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP). To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of hypercalcemia due to PTHrP in this type of tumor.
