A patient presents with hypeension and hypokalemia. CT abdomen was performed. What is the diagnosis?
High-Yield Explanation
- The image shows mass on top of kidney, indicative of adrenal pathology. Since hypeension is present with hypokalemia, increased aldosterone from adrenal adenoma is diagnostic of Conn syndrome. - Pheochromocytoma has hypeension but hypokalemia is not seen. - Liddle syndrome is autosomal dominant disorder with over activity of epithelial sodium channel, but does not present as an adrenal mass.
