- Abstract: More and more cases of aldosterone-and cortisol-producing adenoma (A/CPA) have been reported in recent years.In order to further understand the clinical characteristics of patients with A/CPA,we report 2 cases of A/CPA treated in our hospital,and analyzes them in combination with domestic reports.We recommend that clinicians routinely perform Low Dose Dexamethasone Suppression Test on every primary aldosteronism patient prior to adrenal vein sampling (AVS) or adrenal adenoma surgery to rule out the possibility of Cushing's syndrome so as to avoid the wrong judgment of AVS results and avoid adrenal hypofunction or adrenal crisis after operation.
