SAT246 Ectopic (Penile) Calcification in 1, 25 Vitamin D Induced Hypercalcemia

Abstract

Abstract Disclosure: J. Berquist: None. D.S. Reddy: None. A 60-year-old male with a history of well controlled type 2 diabetes and HTN presented with acute renal failure (initial creatinine 19.9 mg/dL, GFR 11). Kidney biopsy during admission was consistent with acute tubular necrosis and mild diabetic nephropathy. Serum calcium was normal at that time. He received temporary dialysis and eventually discharged home with improved (though still elevated) creatinine. On follow up labs a month later, he was noted to have high serum calcium. He was temporarily lost to follow up and was readmitted four months later due to persistent severe hypercalcemia. Peak serum calcium on his new admission was 13.2 mg/dL. Phosphorus level three months prior was 5.9 mg/dL, though had now improved to 2.7 mg/dL. Other labs this admission include creatinine 2.54 and GFR 33 (which was consistent with previous months), PTH 11 pg/mL, 25-OH Vitamin D 10 ng/mL, 1,25-Dihydroxy Vitamin D elevated at 84.8 pg/mL and magnesium low at 1.5 mg/dL. SPEP and UPEP were both negative and PTHrP was not measured. Kappa/Lamda free light chain ratio was mildly elevated at 1.77 (0.26-1.65). QuantiFERON Gold, HIV, Beta-2 microglobulin, ANA, and flow cytometry were negative. He received calcitonin x 2, IVF, zoledronic acid, and denosumab (three days later), which improved his calcium to 11.5 by discharge 11 days later. He underwent a CT Chest/Abdomen/Pelvis, T spine, and L spine that were remarkable for multiple bilateral partially calcified pulmonary nodules and hepatic steatosis with splenomegaly. PET CT showed 20 hypermetabolic osseous lesions throughout axial skeleton, multiple pulmonary, liver, and splenic lesions and lymphadenopathy in the head, neck, chest, abdomen. There was also diffuse calcification of the penile corpora. Pathology via biopsies of a retroperitoneal lymph node as well as bone marrow showed non-caseating granulomas. Lastly, 1-2 months ago, he noticed pain and hardening of his penis. On exam, there is a deep firmness with palpation and distal penile tenderness. There are no cutaneous lesions on the penis or anywhere else on the skin. Calciphylaxis was a consideration, but isolated penile involvement is rare. Additionally, it is rare to develop calciphylaxis without end stage renal disease. A review of the literature showed many cases of penile calciphylaxis, though none were without cutaneous involvement. Sarcoidosis of the penis is also very rare and cases in the literature cite either a cutaneous or intraurethral lesion. This case appears unique in the findings of penile calcification palpable on exam and visible on imaging, without any cutaneous manifestations, in the setting of previous though recovered acute renal failure and 1, 25 Vitamin D-mediated hypercalcemia in sarcoidosis.
