Hypercalcemia, monoclonal protein, and osteolytic bone lesions in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. 1994

University Hospital Gasthuisberg, Leuven, Belgium.

We describe a patient with a long history of typical chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who developed hypercalcemia, osteolytic bone lesions, and a monoclonal protein, all features of a secretory plasma cell disorder. These features in CLL have been reported in only four previous cases. The hypercalcemia in our patient is felt to result from an increase in the osteoclastic process.

D015451 Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell A chronic leukemia characterized by abnormal B-lymphocytes and often generalized lymphadenopathy. In patients presenting predominately with blood and bone marrow involvement it is called chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); in those predominately with enlarged lymph nodes it is called small lymphocytic lymphoma.
