Fatal Generalized Metastatic Calcifications.

Metastatic calcifications are a rare but potentially fatal complication of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). In this case, a 76-year-old man with a previously asymptomatic PHPT developed a hypercalcemic crisis with severe pancreatitis following elective urologic surgery. Despite initial treatment focused on pancreatitis and subsequent organ failure, hypercalcemia persisted, leading to rapid progressive metastatic calcifications in multiple organs.
