        <p>
Choroidal calcification is an uncommon benign lesion occurring in predominantly elderly. This condition is ordinarily idiopathic. However, it can be caused by phosphocalcic metabolism disorders.

We report the case of a 72-year-old woman followed-up in the ophthalmology department for proliferative diabetic retinopathy who was found to have a bilateral yellowish lesion in the fundus during a routine eye examination corresponding to a choroidal calcification. Metabolic analyses led to the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Choroidal calcifications warrant a systemic evaluation to identify a potential underlying disease.</p>
