Abstract	Background Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), which is mostly caused by a parathyroid adenoma, is fairly common in postmenopausal women but is relatively rare in pregnant women. PHPT-induced pancreatitis during pregnancy is associated with significant maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis is challenging because of non-specific symptoms and changes in maternal calcium homeostasis. Information about the optimal treatment strategy for the prevention of catastrophic consequences to the mother and foetus is limited. Here, we describe a rare lethal case of severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis due to a parathyroid adenoma in a woman in her third trimester of pregnancy. Case presentation A previously healthy 24-year-old Chinese woman at 37 weeks of gestation presented with persisting epigastric pain, nausea and bilious vomiting for 1 day. PHPT-induced acute necrotizing pancreatitis was diagnosed on the basis of her serum calcium, parathyroid levels and imaging results. A caesarean section and parathyroidectomy were performed at 1 day and 11 days after admission, respectively. Histological examination confirmed a right inferior parathyroid adenoma with a size of 2.0 × 1.5 cm. Following the parathyroidectomy, the patient had eucalcaemia and presented normal parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Although the foetus was normal, the patient died of multiple organ failure due to severe pancreatitis. Conclusions PHPT-induced acute necrotizing pancreatitis is a rare clinical entity and life-threatening condition to both the mother and the foetus during pregnancy. Early diagnosis can be challenging and is crucial. Appropriate treatment according to the patient’s condition may effectively reduce maternal and foetal mortality.
