Adrenal cortical adenomas with diameters greater than 3 mm. were found in 185 (3.61%, of 5,120 consecutive necropsies. A progressively higher incidence with increasing age was noted) 82% of the adenomas occurring in cases in the age range 51-80 years. On the basis of age distribution of adenomas and their connexion with hypertension, there does not seem to be sufficient proof to suppose that the cortical adenomas frequently found at necropsy can be held responsible for causing normokalaemic primary aldosteronism to the extent assumed by Conn (1964).
在连续5120例尸检中,发现直径大于3毫米的肾上腺皮质腺瘤185例(占3.61%)。随着年龄增长,发病率逐渐升高,82%的腺瘤发生在51 - 80岁的病例中。基于腺瘤的年龄分布及其与高血压的关系,似乎没有足够证据认为在尸检中经常发现的皮质腺瘤在导致康恩(1964年)所假设程度的正常血钾性原发性醛固酮增多症方面起作用。
