Abstract

We report a hypokaliemic and normotensive primary aldosteronism in a 62 y.o. woman. BP was 130/80 mmHg. Blood level of aldosterone was increased with a constant hyporeninemia. Both levels were unresponsive. Abdominal CT scan found a left adrenal tumor. At surgery, the left adenal, bearing a benign adenoma, was removed. The precise etiology of this normotensive primary aldosteronism remains to be elucidated.
