原发性醛固酮增多症是肾上腺皮质球状带病变所引起的具有电解质紊乱特征的病征。本病大多由肾上腺皮质腺瘤引起;少数来自双侧皮质增生;由皮质癌引起者极少见。1963年Gilbert对本病搜集文献160例,其中肾上腺皮质腺瘤127例,占79%;肾上腺皮质增生30例,占19%,肾上腺皮质癌仅3例,占2%。本病由肾上腺皮质癌引起者在国内已报道3例。现将我院收治的1例报告于下。 Primary aldosteronism is a condition characterized by an electrolyte disorder caused by a lesion in the adrenal cortex. Most of the disease is caused by adrenocortical adenomas; a few are from bilateral cortical hyperplasia; those caused by cortical cancer are rare. In 1963, Gilbert collected 160 cases of this disease, of which 127 cases were adrenal cortical adenomas, accounting for 79%; 30 cases of adrenocortical hyperplasia, accounting for 19%, only 3 cases of adrenocortical carcinoma, accounting for 2%. Three cases of this disease have been reported in the country caused by adrenocortical carcinoma. One case admitted to our hospital is reported below.
