A Case with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Who Had Undergone Hemodiafiltration Treatment for Hypercalcemia

Hypercalcemia is a rarely seen medical emergency in children compared with adults who present with nonspecific symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, weight loss. Severe hypercalcemia is a rare complication of malignancy in children which can result in a life threatening condition. Herein, we report a 11- year -old girl presenting with a mass on her neck and hypercalcemia. Her serum calcium level was 18.4 mg/dL which necessitated biochemical analysis with resultant establishment of diagnosis of pre B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and ensuing venovenous hemofiltration treatment for her acute hypercalcemia. Our aim is to remind that malignancies should not be overlooked in the differential diagnosis of pediatric hypercalcemia.

Hiperkalsemi İçin Hemodiyafiltrasyon Uygulanan Akut Lenfoblastik Lösemi Vakası

Fatih Aygün, Başak Koç, Fatma Deniz Aygün, Gül Nihal Özdemir, Bülent Zülfükar, Halit Çam

Hiperkalsemi çocuklarda yetişkinlere göre daha az görülen, genellikle bulantı-kusma, kilo kaybı, iştahsızlık gibi özgün olmayan belirtiler gösteren acil bir tıbbi durumdur. Şiddetli hiperkalsemi, çocuklarda malignitenin ender bir komplikasyonudur ve yaşamı tehdit edecek kadar ciddi olabilir. Bu makalede boynunda kitle yakınmasıyla başvuran, biyopsi sonrası kontrol biyokimyasında serum kalsiyum düzeyinin 18.4 mg/dL saptanması üzerine yapılan incelemeler sonucu Pre B akut lenfoblastik lösemi (ALL) tanısı alan ve akut hiperkalsemisi için venövenöz hemodiyafiltrasyon uygulanan 11 yaşında kız hasta sunulmuştur. Amacımız çocuklarda hiperkalsemi ayırıcı tanısında malignitenin unutulmaması gerektiğini anımsatmaktadır

Keywords: Hiperkalsemi, çocuk, akut lenfoblastik lösemi
