El incidentaloma adrenal se define como el hallazgo casual de una lesión adrenal evidenciada durante un estudio de imagen abdominal y su incidencia en la población general es del 4-6 %. Entre las etiologías posibles se incluyen lesiones benignas o malignas que pueden ser hormonalmente activas o inactivas. Datos recientes sugieren que la incidencia de hiperaldosteronismo primario (HAP) en pacientes hipertensos puede alcanzar hasta un 10 %, representando una de las causas más frecuentes de hipertensión arterial secundaria. En la mayoría de los casos el HAP es causado por un adenoma adrenal productor de aldosterona (APA) o hiperplasia bilateral idiopática. Evidencias recientes sugieren que la aldosterona ejerce un efecto deletéreo directo sobre el sistema cardiovascular incrementando la incidencia de eventos cardiovasculares y cerebrovasculares. Se expone el caso clínico de una mujer de 38 años con hipertensión arterial secundaria a un APA que se presentó como una masa adrenal incidentalmente descubierta
Adrenal incidentaloma is defined as the casual finding of an adrenal lesion seen during an abdominal imaging study and its incidence in the general population is 4-6 %. Benign or malignant lesions, that may be hormonally active or inactive, are found among the possible etiologies. Recent data suggest that the incidence of primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) in hypertense patients may reach up to 10 %, thus representing one of the most frequent causes of secondary high blood pressure. In most of the cases, PHA is caused by an adrenal aldosterone producing adenoma (APA) or bilateral idiopathic hyperplasia. Recent evidence suggests that aldosterone has a direct harmful effect on the cardiovascular system, increasing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. The clinical case of a 38-year old woman with HBP secondary to APA that presented as an incidentally discovered adrenal mass is presented
