RESUMEN
Hypercalcemia might present itself in association with granulomatous diseases such as tuberculosis. We report a rare case of a 62-year-old man with hypercalcemia due to hepatic tuberculosis. The diagnosis was based on laparoscopic and a histopathological examination. After treatment with anti-tuberculosis medication, the patient's serum calcium levels were within normal limits. Tuberculosis needs to be excluded as a diagnosis in any febrile patient with hypercalcemia, especially in countries where tuberculosis is endemic.
