Abstract EN
We describe a young woman with longstanding resistant hypertension.
Evaluation for renal artery stenosis and primary aldosteronism was unrevealing.
In this setting of a suppressed plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and a suppressed plasma renin activity (PRA), a differential diagnosis of a deoxycorticosterone (DOC) producing tumor was entertained.
Biochemical and imaging studies confirmed this diagnosis.
Rare and novel DOC producing tumors are an important cause of resistant hypertension.
