Hypercalcaemia in chronic lymphatic leukaemia.
A 75 year old woman with a 13 year history of classical chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL) developed hypercalcaemia. Unlike previous reports, this was not associated with blastic transformation, hyperparathyroidism or features of multiple myeloma, but was due to classical CLL per se.
