title: [Chronic calcifying pancreatitis revealing a primary hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The association of pancreatitis and hyperparathyroidism is rare.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 41-year-old man had consulted for a strong abdominal pain reliant to a chronic calcifying pancreatitis. A major hypercalcaemia led to a primary hyperparathyroidism diagnosis. The evolution was favourable after parathyroid adenoma surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The hypercalcaemia activate the transformation of trypsinogen into trypsin which is toxic for the pancreas. The role of parathyroid hormone remains unclear.
