Multiple Myeloma Presenting as Hypercalcemia-Induced Acute Severe Pancreatitis: A Case Report

Hypercalcemia is a known presentation of multiple myeloma along with anemia, renal failure, and bone pains (CRAB: hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, and bone lesions). Hypercalcemia is a known cause of pancreatitis besides the common causes like gallstones, alcohol and hypertriglyceridemia. However, hypercalcemia secondary to multiple myeloma is a rare cause of pancreatitis and only a few cases of the same have been reported. We present a case of a 60-year-old female who presented with acute severe pancreatitis induced by hypercalcemia secondary to multiple myeloma.

Abstract

Hypercalcemia is a known presentation of multiple myeloma along with anemia, renal failure, and bone pains (CRAB: hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, and bone lesions). Hypercalcemia is a known cause of pancreatitis besides the common causes like gallstones, alcohol and hypertriglyceridemia. However, hypercalcemia secondary to multiple myeloma is a rare cause of pancreatitis and only a few cases of the same have been reported. We present a case of a 60-year-old female who presented with acute severe pancreatitis induced by hypercalcemia secondary to multiple myeloma.
