#3168 Endocrine neoplasias and non-endocrine neoplasias associated with primary aldosteronism

Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the main cause of secondary arterial hypertension (AH) of endocrine origin (1). Clinical presentation may include resistance to treatment for AH, hypokalemia, with the autonomous secretion of aldosterone. Somatic mutations and epigenetic factors are the most frequent etiologies (2). Adrenal tumors may be a characteristic of MEN1 syndrome (3). Some case reports have associated endocrine neoplasms with PA; however, the real prevalence of this association is unknown (3).

Usually are characterized by having a large cell, small cell, poorly differentiated or anaplastic cell, and Ki-67 index between 40-90%.
