Aldosterone-secreting adrenal cortical carcinoma: a case report.
We present a case of aldosterone-secreting adrenal cortical carcinoma. The patient had an isolated elevation of aldosterone levels. This diagnosis should be suspected in patients first seen with hypertension and hypokalemia since this tumor may not always be considered in the differential diagnosis.
