Hypercalcemia Due to Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein Induced by Primary Endometrial Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma: Case Report

Humoral Hypercalcemia of Malignancy (HHM) has been reported in association with a number of malignancies. In gynecologic malignancies, ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma (CCC) is one of the most commonhistologic subtypes, whereas HHM caused by endometrial CCC is very rare. We report a case of endometrial CCC with HHM, with a low serum intact PTH level, elevated serum PTH-related Peptide (PTH-rP), and immunohistochemically demonstrated PTH-rP in the neoplasm.
