Bone involvement was never evidenced and serum calcium levels were normal since diagnosis. Nine years after the initial diagnosis, the patient was admitted to our service after presenting one week of diarrhea, behavioral disturbance, motor clumsiness, timing disorientation, self-management deficit, verbiage and mood lability. Physical examination showed hypertension without tachycardia, lower limbs swollen, neurological assessment did not show any focal impairment or meningeal signs, and his body weight was stable. At his admission, laboratory examinations showed hypokalemia (2.3<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mEq/L), hypercalcemia (12.3<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/dL), hypophosphatemia (2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/dL), and slightly raised liver function enzymes; kidney function, magnesium and pH were normal. Urinary analysis was consistent with extra-renal potassium losses, calcium excretion was increased. ECG showed a sinus rhythm, flattened T waves, inverted in V2 and V3 and non-prolonged QT interval. Later blood tests evidenced normal 1,25-OH-Vitamin D (45<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>pg/mL, normal range (NR): 18–71), low 25-OH vitamin D (5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ng/dL, NR: >20), low PTH (12.3<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>pg/mL, NR: 18–88), and increased PTHrP (14<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>pmol/l, NR: <1.5) levels. Serum fractionated metanephrines and cerebral CT scan were normal. Hypercalcemia was firstly treated with hydration, zoledronic acid infusion, furosemide and parenteral steroids, after 1 week, without complete remission but clinical improvement, cinacalcet was added; potassium and phosphate levels were corrected using parenteral supplements. On day 9 of admission he was discharged with normal calcium and potassium serum levels. During the following months, the general status of the patient improved. He did not receive any additional treatment addressed to the tumor. After 3 months he returned to the hospital after seizure and neurological deterioration, he was diagnosed with brain metastases and died one day after.
