Postmortem bone and parathyroid gland histology in nine hypercalcemic cancer patients without bone metastases was compared to bone and parathyroid histology in ten normocalcemia patients.

Bone histology in all nine hypercalcemic cancer patients showed increased osteoclastic bone resorption and increased fibrous connective tissue in the bone marrow.
