Abstract
A patient with mixed squamous/basal cell carcinoma of the skin presented with hypercalcaemia and elevated serum levels of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rP). The tumour was resected, PTH-rP levels declined and the patient became normocalcaemic. This is the first case to associate squamous cell carcinoma of the skin with hypercalcaemia and significant levels of PTH-rP.
