Granular cell tumor of the bronchus: a previously unreported cause of hypercalcemia.
Hypercalcemia was found in a patient with an endobronchial granular cell tumor. To the best of our knowledge, the association of hypercalcemia and granular cell tumor has not been previously reported in the literature. Resection of the tumor resulted in the return of the serum calcium levels to normal. Investigation of the metabolic status of the patient suggested that the tumor was not producing parathormone.
