ABSTRACT
Severe hypercalcemia may cause acute pancreatitis. We report a 75-yearold male presenting with abdominal pain and confusion. The initial laboratory showed elevated amylase levels and a serum calcium of 19.0 mg/dl with highly elevated parathormone levels. An abdominal CT scan disclosed pancreatitis. A neck CT scan showed a parathyroid tumor, which was successfully excised. The pathology of the surgical piece showed a parathyroid adenoma.
