[Pancreatitis caused by hypercalcemia of malignant origin].
Malignant hypercalcemia is seldom the cause of an acute pancreatitis; this complication is more frequent when hypercalcemia is due to hyperparathyroidism. We present a case of acute pancreatitis triggered by a malignant hypercalcemia as the first sign of the neoplastic process. Solid tumors with bone extension can produce hypercalcemia and may be the origin of hypercalcemic pancreatitis.
