Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Primary aldosteronism is a condition characterized by excessive aldosterone secretion.
  • Unilateral adrenal hyperplasia is an uncommon cause of primary aldosteronism.

Observation:

  • This report details two cases of primary aldosteronism caused by unilateral adrenal hyperplasia.
  • Diagnostic methods included Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)-CT imaging and selective adrenal vein sampling.

Findings:

  • Surgical treatment appears to be the standard approach for this condition.
  • The pathogenesis of unilateral adrenal hyperplasia in relation to other forms of primary aldosteronism remains unclear based on metabolic data.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering rare causes of primary aldosteronism.
