A case of acute pancreatitis associated with primary hyperparathyroidism is reported. There was none of usual causes of pancreatitis, which did not recur following the removal of a parathyroid adenoma. There are over one hundred of cases of acute or chronic pancreatitis associated with hyperparathyroidism in the literature, suggesting a causal relationship between the two entities. The pancreatic disease has been attributed either to the hypercalcemia or to the excess of circulating parathyroid hormone. However, some authors have recently questioned any link between these two diseases.
