Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the finding of hypercalcemia in pediatric ovarian dysgerminoma. METHODS: Two cases of pediatric ovarian dysgerminoma that presented with hypercalcemia are discussed. RESULTS: Hypercalcemia is a rare finding in ovarian dysgerminoma. CONCLUSION: Ovarian dysgerminoma should be considered in pediatric patients presenting with signs of hypercalcemia. Parathyroid hormone, parathyroid hormone related protein, and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D may elucidate the cause of hypercalcemia.
