Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor could lead to malignant hypercalcemia; secretion of PTHrP is the most common cause, and signs and symptoms are usually milder than paraneoplastic syndrome due to hematologic and solid tumor. Generally, survival is better; however, its treatment is challenging, and primary debulking surgery is often required. A team approach to management is important at all points.
