A case or primary hyperaldosteronism due to unilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia is presented. This entity is exceptional: a review of the literature has yielded only three similar cases. The significance of these adrenal nodules is discussed; in particular, they are compared with the nodules found in hypertensive subjects. Their course after surgery is similar to that of Conn's adenoma.
