An Often Missed Cause of Chronic Pancreatitis: A Case Report on the Rare Presentation of Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT A 30‐year‐old woman with recurrent pancreatitis and nephrolithiasis was diagnosed with chronic calcific pancreatitis linked to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Following decompression of the pancreas and parathyroidectomy, her symptoms resolved and PTH levels normalized. This case underscores the importance of recognizing PHPT‐induced hypercalcemia as a potential cause of chronic pancreatitis for effective treatment.
