title: [Pancreatic insufficiency: an infrequent manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: A case of malabsorption of pancreatic etiology secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is reported. Normalization of calcemia was achieved with parathyroidectomy and oral administration of pancreatic enzymes was initiated. HPT is an infrequent cause of pancreatic inflammatory disease. Although its association is controversial, its inclusion among the causes of exocrine pancreatic failure allows correct diagnosis and therapeutic management with a favorable prognosis.
