Hypercalcemia-induced pancreatitis is a rare and challenging complication, particularly when secondary to sarcoidosis. This case report discusses the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and management of a 61-year-old patient diagnosed with hypercalcemia-induced pancreatitis secondary to sarcoidosis. The abstract highlights the complexities of diagnosing pancreatitis linked to elevated calcium levels and underscores the importance of recognizing underlying conditions such as sarcoidosis in these cases. Through this case, we aim to enhance awareness among clinicians regarding the association between sarcoidosis, hypercalcemia, and pancreatitis, ultimately contributing to improved diagnostic accuracy and patient care strategies.
