Abstract
We reported a 34 years old caucasian woman with acute renal failure and hypercalcemia as onset of splenic lymphoma in absence of abnormal levels of serum vitamin D and PTHrP. Because of dramatic recovery of renal function and hypercalcemia after splenectomy, we can speculate that main mechanism of h...
