Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, hypercalcemia, malignancy, B-cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma
Keywords
Hypercalcemia as an initial presentation of malignant lymphoma is uncommon as many patients with lymphoma develop hypercalcemia late in the course of disease with extensive bone involvement. Also, among subgroups of lymphomas, hypercalcemia is more common in adult T cell lymphomas rather than B-cell lymphomas. We present a case of mature B cell lymphoma presenting as hypercalcemia in the absence of bone lesions. The case report discusses the pathogenesis, symptoms, and treatment of hypercalcemia.
