Paraneoplastic syndromes secondary to mesodermal tumors are relatively uncommon. In this report, we describe two unusual cases associated with soft‐tissue sarcoma: a 69‐year‐old male who had a normochromic anemia, without apparent etiology, that resolved promptly after surgical resection of the primary tumor; and a 22‐year‐old female with hypercalcemia without evidence of bony destruction.
