| Popis: | Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common liver malignancies in the United States. Poor prognosis is associated with paraneoplastic syndromes such as hypercalcemia, hypercholesterolemia, or hypoglycemia. Hypercalcemia as a paraneoplastic syndrome of hepatocellular carcinoma has been rarely reported. We report a mortality case of incidentally diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. The patient demonstrated a fulminant disease course with an unexpected fatal outcome within 40 days of initial diagnosis. Our case can suggest importance of early definitive treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, extremely close monitoring, and aggressive medical treatment when it is associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. |
