Primary aldosteronism (PA) with synchronous carcinoid syndrome is extremely rare occurrence. In this article, we describe a case of PA due to adrenocortical adenoma ("aldosteronoma") and concurrent malignant carcinoid tumor of ileum. The patient was treated with synchronous right adrenalectomy and resection of the ileum. This case is an example of concomitant presence of two types of tumors, effectively managed surgically. We report a case of a nonclassical form of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) syndrome.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.

D018246 Adrenocortical Adenoma A benign neoplasm of the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is characterized by a well-defined nodular lesion, usually less than 2.5 cm. Most adrenocortical adenomas are nonfunctional. The functional ones are yellow and contain LIPIDS. Depending on the cell type or cortical zone involved, they may produce ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and/or ANDROSTENEDIONE.
