. A patient with mixed squamous/basal cell carcinoma of the skin presented with hypercalcaemia and elevated serum levels of parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTH‐rP). The tumour was resected, PTH‐rP levels declined and the patient became normocalcaemic. This is the first case to associate squamous cell carcinoma of the skin with hypercalcaemia and significant levels of PTH‐rP.
