Abstract
- Gallstones and alcohol consumption are well-known causes of acute pancreatitis, which usually follows a mild and self-limited course. Although extremely rare, hypercalcemia is a possible cause of acute pancreatitis. There are only few reported cases, all of which were mild and self-limited. Here we report a patient with iatrogenic hypercalcemia-induced necrotizing pancreatitis that progressed to serious adverse events such as biliary obstruction, peripancreatic fluid collection with walled-off necrosis, and acute cholecystitis. The patient was successfully treated with appropriate endoscopic and radiologic interventions, and recovered well.
