title: Hypercalcemia associated with cancer of prostate without bony metastases.
abstract: Although hypercalcemia is sometimes found in carcinoma of the prostate with osseous metastases, it is rarely seen as a paraneoplastic manifestation of this neoplasm. We present a patient with such a tumor in whom severe hypercalcemia developed in the absence of detectable osseous metastases.
