abstract={Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common manifestation of parathyroid disease. Atypical parathyroid adenoma and parathyroid carcinoma are rare causes of primary hyperparathyroidism and pathologic differentiation is challenging. A 44-year-old Caucasian female presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Her serum calcium, intact PTH, and lipase levels were elevated at presentation. Radiological assessment revealed a parathyroid mass. After parathyroidectomy, pathology demonstrated an atypical parathyroid adenoma. We present a case of primary hyperparathyroidism due to an atypical parathyroid adenoma associated with acute pancreatitis. Concurrence of severe hypercalcemia in the setting of atypical parathyroid adenoma and acute pancreatitis is very uncommon, with a small number of reported cases.},
