Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism is an important but infrequent cause of acute pancreatitis. Here we presented a 58-year-old woman with typical presentation of acute pancreatitis. She was found to have hypercalcemia and elevated parathyroid function determined by biochemical and imaging studies. She received parathyroidectomy, and the pathology report confirmed the presence of parathyroid adenoma. Her postoperative serum calcium level and parathyroid function were within normal limits, and her pancreatic condition remained stable on outpatient follow-up. In patients with acute pancreatitis and hypercalcemia, primary hyperparathyroidism should be included in the differential diagnosis.
