Rare adrenal tumor triggers calcium crisis by hijacking hormone system

Researchers identified an unusual adrenal cancer that secretes multiple hormones simultaneously, causing life-threatening high blood calcium levels through an unexpected mechanism. The case reveals how tumors can exploit the body's endocrine system in ways oncologists don't typically screen for, highlighting gaps in diagnostic protocols that could delay treatment for similar patients.
