We present a case of aldosterone-secreting adrenal cortical carcinoma. The patient had an isolated elevation of aldosterone levels. This diagnosis should be suspected in patients first seen with hypertension and hypokalemia since this tumor may not always be considered in the differential diagnosis.
我们报告一例分泌醛固酮的肾上腺皮质癌病例。该患者醛固酮水平单独升高。对于初诊有高血压和低钾血症的患者应怀疑此诊断，因为在鉴别诊断中可能并不总是会考虑到这种肿瘤。
