Abstract A case of a patient with pancreatitis and familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia is presented and the literature linking FHH and pancreatitis is reviewed. The case for a causal link between the two conditions is not proven and seems unlikely. In view of this we strongly challenge the recommendation of total parathyroidectomy in such cases.
