The diagnosis of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP)-secreting metastatic uterine endometrioid cancer was made in a 32-year-old Japanese woman with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. The primary endometrial cancer had been removed, and the tumor was diagnosed as Grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma with shallow myometrial invasion. Salvage chemotherapy (paclitaxel and calboplatin) was started from 5 months after surgery when recurrent tumors were detected in the peritoneum and liver. Despite the salvage chemotherapy, the tumor progressed and hypercalcemia became evident with elevated PTHrP whereas no bone metastasis was identified. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of hypercalcemia due to PTHrP secretion in uterine endometrioid adenocarcinoma.

A 65-year-old Caucasian woman with a known history of clear cell endometrial cancer presented with hypercalcemia. Further evaluation demonstrated that the patient had primary hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid adenoma, as well as an increased parathyroid hormone-related peptide secondary to her malignancy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a female patient with concurrent primary hyperparathyroidism and humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. This case illustrates the importance of considering a broad differential when evaluating patients with hypercalcemia. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing the biochemical interplay between parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone-related peptide.

Hypercalcemia secondary to neoplastic disease is a frequent entity caused in the majority of cases by ectopic secretions of PTHrP. Despite this there are certain tumours, such as uterine carcinomas, in which this type of paraneoplastic manifestation has been described very little. We present a case of humoral hypercalcemia in a mixed endometrial carcinoma.
