[Primary hyperaldosteronism caused by small adenoma not visible with CAT using typical postural studies for hyperplasia. Report of a case].
The paper describes a case of primary hyperaldosteronism using typical postural tests for hyperplasia and negative CAT, elements which in the majority of cases allow an adrenal gland hyperplasia to be confirmed, but which should not overlook the rare but documented possibility of a small adenoma not visible with CAT, responding to angiotensin II and which can be treated with surgery.
