During the investigation of hypercalcemia, a paraesophageal ectopic parathyroid mass was detected by computerized tomography (CT) scan and <sup>99m</sup>Tc sestamibi scintigraphy. The tumor was resected via a cervical collar incision and calcium and parathormone tumor levels returned to normal within 48 hours.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Acute pancreatitis associated with hypercalcaemia should pose the suspicion of primary hyperparathyroidism. Accurate preoperative localization of an ectopic parathyroid adenoma, by using the combination of <sup>99m</sup>Tc sestamibi scintigraphy and CT scan of the neck and chest allows successful surgical treatment.</p> |
