Oral SurgeryThe palatine process of the maxilla forms the anterior three-fourths of the hard palate and also contributes to the floor of the nasal cavity. If the mid portion of the palatine process is accidentally removed during maxillary torus surgery, it would directly create a communication with the nasal cavity above. Vertical fracture of the maxilla → Not a typical consequence of removing the palatine process. Opening into the maxillary antrum → That would occur if the lateral wall of the maxilla (near the sinus) is breached, not the mid-palatal region.

PTHrP is a protein that is structurally similar to parathyroid hormone (PTH) but is produced by some tumor cells. It acts on the PTH receptor, leading to increased calcium levels in the blood, similar to PTH. HHM is most often associated with overproduction of PTHrP by tumors, causing hypercalcemia without the typical elevation in PTH levels seen in primary hyperparathyroidism.
