Hypercalcaemia is rare in pregnancy and is under diagnosed owing to its non-specific presentation which is frequently attributed to the pregnancy itself. Severe hypercalcaemia presents a therapeutic challenge, especially during pregnancy. The present case of a 26-year-old primigravida who presented with acute pancreatitis is described here. The pancreatitis was found to be secondary to parathyroid adenoma- induced hypercalcaemia. After initial conservative medical management with subcutaneous and intranasal calcitonin, she underwent a small-incision adenoma excision. This unusual cause and presentation of hypercalcaemia and its management is reviewed thereof.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) due to parathyroid adenoma presenting as recurrent acute pancreatitis is a rare entity. A 17-year-old male presented with recurrent attacks of pancreatitis and was found to have elevated serum calcium and Parathyroid hormone levels, 11.9mg/dL (8.5-10.2 mg/dL) and 396 pg/ml (10-65pg/ml) respectively. USG neck showed a 1.1 x 0.9 cm hypoechoic nodule in the superior aspect of left thyroid lobe. Parathyroid scintigraphy findings were consistent with parathyroid adenoma. After recovery of pancreatitis, surgical excision of the adenoma was done and the histopathological findings confirmed parathyroid adenoma. There were no further recurrence of pancreatitis following the excision.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(1) 2017 98-100
