Abstract
Malignant hypercalcemia is seldom the cause of an acute pancreatitis; this complication is more frequent when hypercalcemia is due to hyperp arathyroidism. We present a case of acute pancreatitis triggered by a malignant hypercalcemia as the first sign of the neoplastic process. S olid tumors without bone extension can produce hypercalcemia and may b e the origin of hypercalcemic pancreatitis.
