[Primary hyperaldosteronism due to adrenocortical carcinoma. A clinical case report]

A rare case of primary hyperaldosteronism due to corticosuprarenal carcinoma is presented. The case was treated by suprarenalectomy and is currently under antiblastic treatment with mitotane (o-p'DDD). The clinical and endocrinological elements for differential diagnosis from the much more common suprarenal adenomas are examined in particular detail.
