A case of adrenal tumor producing 11-deoxycorticosterone, 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone and aldosterone is reported. A 55-year-old woman had hypertension, hypokalemia, low plasma renin activity and an adrenal tumor. The plasma level of aldosterone was normal, and the levels of 11-deoxycorticosterone and 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone were extremely high. After the tumor removal, the plasma level of aldosterone decreased and plasma levels of 11-deoxycorticosterone and 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone were normalized. The tumor was benign adenoma and the production of steroid hormones was under control of adrenocorticotropic hormone. The enzyme activity of 21-hydroxylation in the tumor was elevated and that of 11 beta-hydroxylation was decreased compared with the adjacent tissue.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007008 Hypokalemia Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
