RESTREPO, César A e ETAYO, Edwin. Report of a case of coexistence of pheochromocytoma and adrenal cortical adenoma in a patient with severe hypertension. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.3, pp.148-152. ISSN 0120-5633.
We report the case of a female patient with paroxysmal hypertension associated with adrenergic symptoms. Elevated levels of total metanephrines in 24 hour urine were found, as well as persistent hypokalemia and a nodule in the adrenal gland. She was taken to surgery, and two adrenal masses were identified, one with histological characteristics of pheochromocytoma and another one of adrenal adenoma.
