title: Hypercalcemia in a child with juvenile granulosa cell tumor of ovary: Report of an unusual paraneoplastic syndrome and review of the literature.
abstract: ► Hypercalcemia is an extremely rare paraneoplastic syndrome in children. ► Small cell carcinoma is the commonest ovarian tumor associated with hypercalcemia. ► Small cell carcinoma must be ruled out because of poor prognosis. ► We report the only third case of JGCT associated with paraneoplastic hypercalcemia.
