Unilateral primary adrenal hyperplasia, a rare condition, can occur without low potassium levels. Surgical removal of the adrenal gland led to complete remission in this case, suggesting it may be more common than previously believed.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Primary adrenal hyperplasia is a recognized endocrine disorder.
  • It is often associated with electrolyte imbalances, particularly hypokalemia.

Observation:

  • A case of unilateral primary adrenal hyperplasia was identified.
  • The patient presented with normokalemia, lacking the typical hypokalemia.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the affected adrenal gland resulted in complete clinical remission.
  • This suggests that primary adrenal hyperplasia can exist asymptomatically with normal potassium levels.

Implications:

  • The condition might be underdiagnosed due to its potential to occur with normokalemia.
  • This presentation could represent an early phase in the spectrum of adrenal cortical transformation, potentially leading to adenomas.
