ABSTRACT
Records of patients undergoing parathyroidectomy at our institute in the period 1991-2003 were retrospectively analyzed. Pancreatitis was associated in six of 87 patients (6.8%) with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Pancreatitis was the presenting symptom in five patients, while it developed postoperatively in one case. All patients with a past history of pancreatitis had suffered two or more attacks. All patients had a history of renal stone disease. Four patients also had overt bone disease with multiple fractures. Parathyroid adenoma (4) or carcinoma (1) was the cause in all patients. All five patients who underwent successful parathyroidectomy had resolution of pancreatitis on conservative management and no further attacks during a mean follow up of 28 months (3-84 months). Surgical exploration for parathyroid adenoma failed in one patient; this patient has had further attacks of pancreatitis. Repeat surgical exploration for parathyroidectomy has been advised. Hyperparathyroidism is a rare but treatable cause of pancreatitis. Parathyroidectomy has a salutary effect on the course of pancreatitis.
