Se reporta el caso de una paciente con hipertensión paroxística asociada a síntomas adrenérgicos, en quien se encontraron niveles elevados de metanefrinas totales en orina de 24 horas, hipopotasemia persistente y nódulo en la glándula suprarrenal. Fue llevada a cirugía en la que se identificaron dos masas suprarrenales, una con características histológicas de feocromocitoma y otra de adenoma suprarrenal.

We report the case of a female patient with paroxysmal hypertension associated with adrenergic symptoms. Elevated levels of total metanephrines in 24 hour urine were found, as well as persistent hypokalemia and a nodule in the adrenal gland. She was taken to surgery, and two adrenal masses were identified, one with histological characteristics of pheochromocytoma and another one of adrenal adenoma.
Key words:
sistemic arterial hypertension
refractory hypertension
