Abstract
Background: Adrenal cortical adenoma with aldosterone hypersecretion, the most prevalent cause of secondary hypertension, represents a significant subset of adrenal tumors with distinct clinical implications. Clinical Description: A 30-year-old female presented with generalized body pain for two years and multiple episodes of sudden onset progressive weakness of the upper and lower limbs. Management: The diagnosis was confirmed by serum aldosterone and plasma renin activity and a laparoscopic right adrenalectomy was performed. The histopathology of the removed specimen helped to rule out adrenal cortical carcinoma Conclusion: A prompt diagnosis and surgical management improves the quality of life for patients with such rare diseases.
