Ä°NTRODUCTÄ°ON Primary aldosteronism is the most common and curable form of secondary hypertension with on estimated prevalence of 10% in referred patients, and 4% in primary care. Primary aldosteronism is presented with signs of hypertension and hypokalemia classically. CASE PRESENTATÄ°ON A 46 years old male patient was referred to our hospital with weakness, dry mouth and weight loss. He was hypertensive at out-of-office measures as grade II according to last guidelines. The patient was hospitalized to service as primer hyper aldosteronism however adrenocortical carcinoma with distant metastases was detected. CONCLUSÄ°ON We presented a case of a man who had isolated aldosterone-producing adrenal cortical carcinoma. This is very rare case and also clinicians should be aware that primary hyperaldosteronism can occur in the context of adrenocortical carcinoma.
