Clodronat therapy of hypercalcaemia associated with male breast cancer

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to survey the treatment of bone metastases and hypercalcaemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A case of male breast cancer is presented here by the authors. The applied clodronat therapy was beneficial. RESULTS: The diagnostic difficulties of such rare, unusually localised, metastasizing male breast cancer are discussed with the survey of Hungarian and world literature. CONCLUSION: The bisphosphonates - beside treating the hypercalcaemia caused by bone metastasis - provide a better quality of life.
