Most cases of pulmonary edema presenting with hypercalcemia are associated with malignant hypercalcemia and related with metastatic calcification. Most patients have predisposing factors such as hematological and solid organ malignancies and chronic renal failure. Pulmonary edema, induced by moderate hypercalcemia, which is associated with primary hyperparathyroidism, has not been reported previously. A 72-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency service with pulmonary edema and moderate hypercalcemia because of primary hyperparathyroidism. In this presented case, we have discussed the 72-year-old female patient admitted with acute pulmonary edema who had primary hyperparathyroidism.
