Tumors of the upper urinary tract are discovered, either by clinical symptomatology or as part of the evaluation of a bladder tumor. Hypercalcemia is one of the most common paraneoplastic syndromes and an exceptional complication of urothelial carcinoma of the upper tract. Several physiopathological mechanisms have been proposed to explain this rare and serious complication. Hypercalcemia is often correlated with tumors with a poor prognosis.
