Lenvatinib-induced hypocalcaemia due to transient primary hypoparathyroidism.

Though hypocalcaemia has been described as potential side effect of MKI treatment, this is the first report of a lenvatinib-induced primary hypoparathyroidism, in a patient with a documented normal parathyroid function after surgery. The periodical assessment of calcium-phosphorus metabolism is thus warranted to prevent this potentially lethal side effect, in both post-surgical hypoparathyroid and euparathyroid patients.
