Abstract
We reported a new case of sarcoidosis disclosed by a symptomatic sever e hypercalcemia. Increase of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is secondary to a n extrarenal production by alveolar macrophages and sarcoid granuloma. Glucocorticoid administration produces a prompt and persistent decrea se in serum and urinary levels of calcium.
