A 15 year-old boy presented with moderate hypercalcemia (serum calcium 3.35 mmol/l) and eosinophilic fasciitis. An extensive search for a cause of hypercalcemia or underlying malignancy proved negative. Glucocorticoid treatment resulted in significant clinical improvement and resolution of the hypercalcemia. This report describes the novel association of hypercalcemia with eosinophilic fasciitis, with potential implications for the role of inflammatory mediators.
一名15岁男孩出现中度高钙血症(血清钙3.35 mmol/L)及嗜酸性筋膜炎。对高钙血症病因或潜在恶性肿瘤进行的广泛检查结果均为阴性。糖皮质激素治疗使临床症状显著改善,高钙血症得以缓解。本报告描述了高钙血症与嗜酸性筋膜炎的新关联,这对炎症介质的作用可能具有启示意义。
