چکیده
A 32 year old man presented on two separate occasions with severe hypercalcaemia. Both episodes followed the fracture of a single pagetic bone but were not associated with immobilization. To our knowledge this patient, the youngest described with hypercalcaemia secondary to Paget's disease of bone is also the only reported case of recurrent hypercalcaemia in this condition.

Primary non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of bone: poly-ostotic versus mono-ostotic subtypes
Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of bone (PNHLB) accounts for less than 5% of all primary bone tumours and less than 1% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

متن کاملHypercalcaemia and hypokalaemia in tuberculosis.
In two patients with extensive pulmonary tuberculosis who developed hypercalcaemia and hypokalaemia the hypercalcaemia appeared related to the use of small doses of vitamin D, which suggested patients with tuberculosis were hypersensitive to vitamin D. They were thus similar to patients with sarcoidosis, and it is interesting that the Kveim test result was positive in both cases. The hypercalca...
