[Hypercalcemia and osteoclast activating factor (OAF) associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (author's transl)]. 1979

A Durocher, and J J Ballet, and J Pirot, and F Granier, and F Bauters, and F Wattel

The occurence of hypercalcemia appears to be unusual in leukemia. The mechanisms are numerous: secretion of PTH of PTH like substance, prostaglandin E2 or vitamin D like sterols. The reported case is one of lymphoblastic acute leukemia and hypercalcemia associated with osteoclast activating factor secreted by leukemic cells. In this patient the serum levels calcium closely paralleled the course of acute leukemia.
