Hypercalcemia of malignancy frequently manifests as paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with solid tumors. A 71-year-old man was diagnosed with stage IIIB lung squamous cell carcinoma. Laboratory examination revealed high serum calcium concentration with elevated serum parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 levels. As the patient did not respond to the initial treatment with calcitonin, extracellular fluid infusion, and chemotherapy, systemic prednisolone was administered additionally. Thus, the levels of serum calcium normalized and PTHrP and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 decreased simultaneously. To our knowledge, this is the first case report on the successful treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy caused by PTHrP and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 cosecretion in a patient with lung cancer.

A 49-year-old woman with ER-positive/PR-negative/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer experienced Grade 3 hepatotoxicity following initiation of a clinical trial of fulvestrant, palbociclib, and erdafitinib. Fulvestrant was determined to be the drug most likely responsible for this hepatotoxic effect. This case report details the timing and nature of this drug-induced liver injury, adding support to an area that has yet to be described adequately in the existing literature.
