[A case of normotensive primary aldosteronism in association with non-functioning adenoma and aldosterone producing adenoma in ipsilateral adrenal gland].
A case of normotensive primary aldosteronism in association with non-functioning adenoma and aldosterone producing adenoma in ipsilateral adrenal gland is reported. Fourteen cases of normotensive primary aldosteronism were previously reported and our case was considered as the fifteenth case. Furthermore, its association with non-functioning adenoma and aldosterone producing adenoma is very rare. Only four cases of such association were reported, and in these four cases non-functioning adenoma existed in contralateral side of aldosterone producing adenoma. In our case, its association with non-functioning adenoma and aldosterone producing adenoma was seen in the ipsilateral adrenal gland. The report of this kind of association has not been seen in the literature so far.
