A report is given of two patients with parathyroid intoxication in order to exemplify the precipitation of acute hypercalcemic symptoms by minor operative procedures, the clinical recognition of the condition, with some of the difficulties encountered with differential diagnosis, and the simultaneous occurrence and significance of acute pancreatitis. The differential diagnosis is exemplified by a report of three other patients with hypercalcemia not due to parathyroid intoxication.
