Introduction: Hypercalcemia has been described in patients with most granulomatous disorders, of which sarcoidosis and tuberculosis are the most common. Granuloma formation is a rare, however well known complication of silicon implants and injections. We present a case of silicon granulomatosis induced hypercalcemia in a transgender female. Case Report 60-year-old transgender female, with past medical history of HIV on HAART was referred to Endocrinology for evaluation of hypercalcemia. She Bloodwork done a few weeks prior revealed elevated calcium 12.3 and low PTH of 9. Reported symptoms include worsening abdominal pain similar to prior gastritis flare, insomnia and significant weight loss. Denied any constipation, joint pain, mood changes, no history of bone fractures or kidney stones. Admitted to significant dairy intake - half a gallon of milk within 3 days and daily yogurt consumption. Endorsed inadequate daily fluid intake and she was not taking oral calcium or Vitamin D supplementation. Quit tobacco 9 years ago. Vitals were significant for tachycardia with HR 120/min, BP stable. Patient was referred to the ER for IV hydration and further evaluation with initial suspicion of malignancy. Repeat corrected calcium was 14.7, ionized calcium 6.8, PTHrP undetectable |
