Background: Adrenal adenomas are benign tumors that may have hiperactivity.
Clinical case: A 52-year-old female with a history of hypertension with poor control despite medication in the last 2 months. The CT scan showed a right adrenal mass. High levels of aldosterone were found on blood analisis. Given this suspicion, a right laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed.
Conclusion: Conn`s Syndrome is cause of secondary arterial hypertension due to excessive production of aldosterone. In the case of primary hyperaldosteronism, surgery implies a possibility near 100% of controlling hypertension with medication and a possibility of cure of between 30-60%. Laparoscopic acces is the gold standard.
KEY WORDS: Primary hyperaldosteronism, Conn`s Syndrome, adrenalectomy.
