Primary Hyperaldosteronism From Adrenocortical Adenoma Presenting as Seizures and Stroke

[Primary hyperaldosteronism due to adrenal adenoma].

Angiotensin II receptor subtypes on adrenal adenoma in primary hyperaldosteronism.

Patients with an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) characteristically fail to show an increase in plasma aldosterone (PA) concentration with maneuvers that increase angiotensin II (Ang II), yet they retain a brisk response of PA to adrenocorticotrophic hormone. Therefore, adrenal Ang II receptor binding was characterized in a patient with APA who had a blocked PA response to Ang II infusion b...

A Case of Virilizing Adrenocortical Adenoma

SUMMARY A 2/12 Year-old boy with IsoSexual Pseudoprecocious puberty due to a Virilizing Adrenocortical adenoma is presentecl, who was crronously treated as CAH for 9 months. Prevalence, clinical presentation, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of these tumors are discussed briefly.

Idiopathic Hyperaldosteronism Presenting as Resistant Hypertension

PrimaryAaldosteronism (PA) is a group of endocrine disorders in which aldosterone production is inappropriately high, autonomous of the renin-angiotensin system and not suppressed by sodium loading1. Bilateral idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) and aldosterone producing adenoma (APA) are the most common subtypes of PA. It is estimated that more than 10% of patients with secondary hypertension ...

Giant adrenal adenoma with hyperaldosteronism.

1. Adrenal tumor. (A) Abdominal computed tomography showed a large mass with smooth margin, 6.0 cm in diameter, in the left adrenal gland. No sweling of the lymph nodes around the tumor was observed. (B) An adenoma measuring 7.5×6.0×5.5 cm and weighing 122 g with a smooth surface was removed. Its cut surface was golden yelow. (C) HE stain ×20. The adenoma was encapsulated. The adjacent normal a...
