Abstract
In a 45-year-old female with chronic uncontrolled hy-pertension complicated by hypokalemia, laboratory and radiological findings were consistent with an aldosterone producing adenoma (APA). Diagnosis of Conn's syndrome was confirmed by histopathology. The hypokalemia re-solved and her hypertension improved after laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Discussion of the case, diagnosis and treat-ment are presented.
