A 74-year-old male was urgently admitted to our hospital because of consciousness disturbance. Laboratory data showed remarkable hypercalcemia (7.8 mEq/L), hypophosphatemia, low % TRP, low intact PTH level, normal nephrogenic cyclic AMP and normal 1,25 (OH)2D level. Serum bone Gla protein, which was thought to express osteoblastic activity, was low. Serum tartarate resistant acid phosphatase and urinary excretion of hydroxyproline, which were thought to express osteoclastic activity, were high. CT scan showed an enlarged mass in the left renal pelvis, which was found to be a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) by biopsy through percutaneous nephroscopy. Bone scintigram appeared normal. Therefore, we diagnosed it as renal pelvic SCC with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM) and performed left nephrectomy. After nephrectomy, serum calcium returned to normal. But after a few weeks, lung metastasis appeared and serum calcium was reelevated. As to PTH related protein (PTHrP) which was thought to induce HHM, PTHrP content of the resected tumor measured by RIA assay was 13 pmol/g wet weight of tissue, which suggested that this tumor might have been producing PTHrP.
