RESUMEN
Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare malignancies with an incidence of one to two per million per year. Aldosterone-producing ACCs (APACs) are extremely rare with an incidence less than 1%. We describe a rare case of APAC, presenting with episodic lower-limb weakness and hypertension. Our patient was found to have serum aldosterone levels of 20.8 ng/dL (2.5-15.2) with persistent hypokalaemia and a 9.7×8.3×7.7 cm right adrenal mass, which was suspicious of malignancy on evaluation. He underwent a complete surgical resection which confirmed the diagnosis of ACC and normalised his aldosterone and potassium levels. He was then subjected to postoperative chemotherapy. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with mitotane has a role in preventing recurrence.
