We present a 60-year-old woman with non-pulmonary sarcoidosis manifesting as acute pancreatitis, possibly due to hypercalcaemia. Pancreatitis in sarcoidosis is rare, particularly as a presenting symptom. This case demonstrates that sarcoidosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of pancreatitis with hypercalcaemia, even without pulmonary signs of sarcoidosis.
