Abstract

The following article presents the case report of a 29-year-old woman who was hospitalized for severe abdominal pain caused by acute pancreatitis (AP). During the first diagnostics steps, an extremely high level of triacylglycerols (TAG) was detected.

However, after stabilisation of the condition, increasing calcaemia due to parthyroid adenoma was also observed. Both conditions are precipitating factors in themselves.

But which one was the breaking point?
