Parathyroid Hormone Related Peptide

An asymptomatic 68-year-old woman who presented with an isolated hypercalcaemia was diagnosed with a rare, previously unsuspected parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP)-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour. She underwent an extensive operation including vascular resection and reconstruction, resulting in successful removal of the tumour with negative margins. Medical and surgical management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours and PTHrP-mediated paraneoplastic hypercalcaemia is discussed.
