• Hypercalcemia is a common feature of malignancy, bone metabolic conditions and granulomatous disorders. In the latter, hypercalcemia is usually calcitriol-related. As eventual association of silicone and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) injections with granulomatous disease and hypercalcemia the condition has become an issue of recent interest. Authors report on two cases of calcitriol-related hypercalcemia where PMMA injections had been previously administered. The association, even though intriguing, requires additional confirmation by follow-up studies.
