Abstract
- A 32 year-old-man was admitted because of paraparesis. Hypertension and hypokalemia was noted with increased aldosterone level in his serum. Computerized tomography of abdomen showed well-defined an ovoid mass of low density in the right adrenal gland. Right adrenalectomy was done and pathologic findings showed a golden yellow color adenoma with large clear cells. Postoperatively there was reversal of hypertension and hypokalemia. We present a case of periodic paralysis due to aldosterone producing adrenal cortical adenoma with brief review of literature.
