Abstract
Hypercalcemia is a common paraneoplastic syndrome complicating some varieties of lung cancer. It has rarely been reported with small‐cell carcinoma of the lung. Seven cases of hypercalcemia complicating small‐cell carcinoma of the lung are described; clinical features indicate that significant bone or bone marrow involvement is present in all cases. Parathor‐mone assays were found to be generally in the normal range, though inappropriate for the level of hypercalcemia.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
