Aldosteronoma causing Conn’s syndrome: a case report and literature review

Abstract

We report a case of primary aldosteronism caused by bilateral solitary aldosteronomas occurring 6 months apart, the diagnosis being confirmed by clinical features. Multiple aldosterone-producing adenomas can be unilateral or bilateral. If bilateral, most of them are found simultaneously. Bilateral solitary aldosteronomas occurring at separate times are rarely reported and the pathogenesis is still elusive. We believe, from this case, the postoperative follow-up in patients with primary aldosteronism is mandatory.
