Abstract

Humoral Hypercalcemia of Malignancy is rarely associated with endometrial carcinoma. We report a case of a 75 year old female who presented with increasing drowsiness. A detailed blood biochemical evaluation revealed Hypercalcemia. MRI abdomen and pelvis revealed the underlying endometrial carcinoma. Detailed evaluation revealed Humoral Hypercalcemia of Malignancy as the cause of encephalopathy. Patient was started on vigorous hydration and loop diuretics to induce calciuresis for which the patient responded and consciousness normalized by the next 2 days. This report throws light into paraneoplastic entity and its management.
