Description
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease that can be complicated by severe hypercalcemia and renal dysfunction. We report the case of a 51-year-old man admitted with severe hypercalcemia, acute kidney injury, weight loss, and bilateral submandibular gland enlargement. The diagnostic workup revealed suppressed parathyroid hormone (PTH), elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, hypercalciuria, mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy, and pulmonary ground-glass opacities.
