Pulmonary carcinoid associated with a parathormone producing melanoma

J Dermatol Surg Oncol. 1983 Jul;9(7):562-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1524-4725.1983.tb00855.x.

Abstract

A rare presentation of hypercalcemia secondary to the probable ectopic production of parathormone by a malignant melanoma associated with a pulmonary carcinoid is discussed. We suggest the association of melanoma with multiple endocrine neoplasia.
