A 15-year-old boy had hypercalcemia in association with malignant retroperitoneal paraganglioma. He had suppressed circulating levels of intact parathyroid hormone, whereas parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) immunoreactivity was elevated in plasma. Both the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels were normal. Preoperatively the patient required control of hypercalcemia with intravenous pamidronate therapy. His circulating calcium and PTHrP concentrations became normal after a successful surgical resection of the primary retroperitoneal tumor. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of elevated PtHrP levels in a patient with paraganglioma which resolved postoperatively.

D010235 Paraganglioma A neural crest tumor usually derived from the chromoreceptor tissue of a paraganglion, such as the carotid body, or medulla of the adrenal gland (usually called a chromaffinoma or pheochromocytoma). It is more common in women than in men.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D004164 Diphosphonates Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
