ABSTRACT
Hypercalcemia due to hyperparathyroidism is a proposed mechanism of pancreatitis. The occurrence of acute pancreatitis caused by hypercalcemia represents a diagnostic clue for hyperparathyroidism. The incidence of acute pancreatitis caused by hyperparathyroidism appears to be decreasing, and it reflects the earlier diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism due to wide spread application of screening method. In a 71-year-old female patient who was admitted to hospital because of acute pancreatitis, hypercalcemia led to the discovery of the parathyroid adenoma. The patient recovered by parathyroidectomy with medical management of hypercalcemia.
