## BACKGROUND. Although lung carcinoma is the most common cause of tumorinduced hypercalcemia (TIH), the precise incidence of TIH remains obscure. Furthermore, the role of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) has not been clearly elucidated.
We investigated the possible involvement of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) in 2 cases of metastatic pancreatic neuro-endocrine tumors associated with severe hypercalcemia. Both patients displayed biochemical alterations in renal tubular reabsorption of calcium and phosphate, as well as
