ABSTRACT = {Hypercalcemia associated with transitional cell
carcinoma (TCC) is rarely encountered. We report a case
of TCC of bladder with documented production of
parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP). Our
patient had a rapidly progressive course and died 2
months after radical cystectomy. Literature suggests that
these patients present with advanced stage and carry a
poor prognosis. The histopathologic features, treatment
and prognosis associated with this rare paraneoplastic
syndrome are reviewed.},
