title: [Hypercalcemia with elevation of parathormone in lymphocytic lymphoma. Efficacy of ethanehydroxydiphosphonate by mouth].
abstract: Acute hypercalcaemia was observed in a 54 year old woman followed up over a five year period for a lymphocytic non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a complication which is rare in chronic lymphoproliferative disorders except multiple myeloma. This case is of interest from 3 points of view: haematological: the simultaneous occurrence of hypercalcaemia (4.80 mmol/l) and of a leukaemic phase (19,300 lymphocytes/mm3) with no signs of "transformation" of the haemopathy; physiopathological: increased osteoclastic bone resorption and a rise in serum parathormone (0.21 to 4.82 ng/ml); therapeutic: efficacy of oral ethane 1, hydroxy 1, 1 diphosphonate (20 mg/kg/day) in treating the hypercalcaemia.
