Abstract

In the multicenter MEPHISTO study, the prevalence of benign and malignant tumors has been investigated in 335 patients with confirmed primary aldosteronism and compared to matched controls. Compared to hypertensive controls, the prevalence of malignancies was positively correlated with aldosterone levels, tended to be higher in PA patients, but did not differ significantly.
