Incontinentia pigmenti ( IP ) is an X‐linked dominant disorder that in most cases is considered lethal in males. IP affects the skin, hair, teeth, nails, eyes, and central nervous system. We report a case of persistent hypercalcemia (10.6–11.3 mg/ dL ) in a 19‐month‐old Caucasian boy with clinical IP . The proposed mechanism for his hypercalcemia is discussed.
