title: A case of weak mineralocorticoid-producing benign adrenal tumor.
abstract: Tumors producing weak mineralocorticoids are exceedingly rare and most of them predominantly produce 11-deoxycorticosterone. We present a case of adrenocortical adenoma in which the overproduction of 18-hydroxydeoxycorticosterone exceeded that of 11-deoxycorticosterone.
