Calcified aldosterone-producing adrenocortical adenoma

We report the first case of benign aldosteronoma of an ordinary size with calcifications. We review the clinical, clinical imaging, histopathological, and laboratory features of aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma versus carcinoma. We conclude that no single feature is diagnostic, and the full ran...

Zusammenfassung:	We report the first case of benign aldosteronoma of an ordinary size with calcifications. We review the clinical, clinical imaging, histopathological, and laboratory features of aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma versus carcinoma. We conclude that no single feature is diagnostic, and the full range of data must be considered. Calcifications may not necessarily be a distinguishing point.
