Hypercalcemia is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain and may be overlooked in the Emergency Department.

She had taken Trichlormethiazide 1 mg daily for her urolithiasis. She was diagnosed with thiazide-related hypercalcemia; hyperparathyroidism and thyroid papillary carcinoma were unveiled during her hospitalization. A thorough history and complete physical examination, paired with appropriate but judicious diagnostic testing, are essential to detecting these unusual causes of abdominal pain.
