    AbstractAn 82-year-old man was transferred to our hospital due to impaired consciousness. His albumin-corrected calcium level was 14.2 mg/dL, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein levels were reduced, and his 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25 (OH) 2VitD] level was elevated at 71.5 pg/mL. Computed tomography revealed masses on the bilateral ribs. The mass on the rib was biopsied and diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Immunostaining of the biopsy sample with the anti-CYP27B1 antibody revealed the ectopic expression of 1α-hydroxylase in the lesion. We herein report a rare case of hypercalcemia induced by the overproduction of 1,25 (OH) 2VitD in DLBCL ectopically expressing 1α-hydroxylase.
