Abstract
Malignant hypercalcaemia is a metabolic emergency. Its association with solid tumors is common, whereas it has been rarely described in patients with malignant hemopathies other than multiple myeloma and T-cell leukemias/T-cell lymphomas associated with lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). We here report the case of a female patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia revealed by malignant hypercalcaemia and pathological fracture of the humerus. Laboratory tests showed aregenerative, normocytic-normochromi anemia, hypercalcaemia (163mg/l), renal failure, creatinine (22mg/l), glomerular filtration rate 26 ml/min and low parathyroid hormone (PTH) (9.9pg/ml). X-ray of the right upper limb showed pathological fracture of humerus. Myelogram and immunophenotyping confirmed the diagnosis of LAL-B. The patient received urgent treatment for hypercalcaemia and the underlying malignancy. This study focuses attention on this atypical condition occurring during acute leukemias and on its diagnostic and therapeutic issues. Copyright: Karima Fakhri et al.Entities:
