title: [Hypercalcemia induced by lactation in 2 patients with treated hypoparathyroidism].
abstract: The authors report two cases of hypercalcemia which occurred in hypoparathyroid women treated with vitamin D and calcium. A recent literature review suggests a major role for parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rP), secreted by the mammary tissue, in this phenomenon with obvious implications for clinical practice.
