Document Details : Title: Hypocalcemia: a rare complication of von Hippel-Lindau disease Author(s): BILLEN P, VANDERSCHUEREN D, BLOCKMANS D Journal: Acta Clinica Belgica Volume: 60 Issue: 4 Date: 2005 Pages: 201-204 DOI: 10.2143/ACB.60.4.2050468 Abstract : von Hippel-Lindau disease is a hereditary neoplastic syndrome, characterized by malignant and benign lesions in multiple organs. Pancreatic involvement is very common and is in general asymptomatic. We describe a case of malabsorption with severe hypocalcemia in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease, caused by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, probably due to severe cystic transformation of the pancreas. |
