AbstractVitamin D intoxication in infancy has serious consequences attributable to acute hypercalcemia and subsequent hypercalcuria or nephrocalcinosis. Traditonal treatment methods is inadequate in some patients with severe hypercalcemia due to vitamin D intoxication. Our experience suggests that bisphosphonates may be an effective and reliable drug in the treatment of severe and persistant hypercalcemia.

A 67-year-old woman presented to the hospital with complaints of abdominal pain. Physical exam was significant for signs of severe dehydration, mild epigastric tenderness and multiple non-tender hard nodules over her arms and thighs. Incidental finding of severe hypercalcemia led to negative workups for hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D intoxication, and malignancy. However, elevated levels of 1,25-hydroxy vitamin D raised the possibility of granulomatous diseases. Imaging and patient report revealed silicone-induced foreign body granulomatous reaction as the cause of hypercalcemia. Use of silicone for cosmetic enhancement of body contours can result in siliconomas, severe hypercalcemia, and complications. Treatment is unestablished for this condition. Increasing prevalence of cosmetic enhancement should prompt vigilance for this rare disease entity. Providers should counsel and educate individuals undergoing such procedures.
