Rare but serious cause for hypokalaemia and hypertension.

Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare tumour but hypertension conversely is very common. We present the case of a woman in her 30s, with poorly controlled hypertension on four antihypertensive agents. She was referred to the accident and emergency department with hypokalaemia.

The value of bronchoscopy in patients with non-massive haemoptysis and a clear or benign computer tomogram scan.

Introduction: The preferred diagnostic pathway for patients presenting with non-massive haemoptysis and normal or benign computer tomography (CT) radiological findings is unclear. The common approach is to investigate with both CT and bronchoscopy, irrespective of patient-specific factors. The value of performing fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in patients with non-massive haemoptysis and clear or benign CT findings remains undetermined.
