Parathyroid adenoma presenting as chronic pancreatitis: A case report and literature review.
Authors
Abstract
Most patients with parathyroid adenomas are asymptomatic and rarely present with chronic pancreatitis (CP). Several studies have reported a positive association between primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and pancreatitis. Parathyroidectomy is the definitive treatment for PHPT. IV bisphosphonates can be considered the drug of choice for bridge to surgery.
