Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is an extremely rare cause of hypercalcemia associated with malignant neoplasms. The case of a patient with extensive squamous cell carcinoma of both buttocks and thighs, with severe hypercalcemia is reported. The data presented indicate secretion of a humoral factor by the tumor, producing hypercalcemia.
