Conn's syndrome with rhabdomyolysis mimicking deep vein thrombophlebitis.
We have reported a case of Conn's syndrome, with pain, tenderness, and swelling of the calf mimicking deep vein thrombophlebitis. The symptoms were associated with sever hypokalemia and rhabdomyolysis, and these findings subsequently explained by primary aldosteronism, which was cured by adrenalectomy.
