| pubmed-article:1015792 | pubmed:abstractText | Primary Aldosteronism may be due to adenoma or hyperplastic adrenals. Such a distinction can be obtained from biochemical studies. In our observation, a man with recurrent aldosteronism after right adrenalectomy was studied. Radiological and surgical data might indicate an adenoma. This opinion was modified by pathological studies. This absence of capsule and the presence of microadenomatous hyperplastic lesions indicated pseudo-adenomatous hyperplastic glands. On the other hand, high blood pressure remained after adrenalectomy. A treatment with beta-blocking substances corrected this hypertension. | lld:pubmed |
