Differential diagnostic search for the pathogenetic causes of hirsutism and the combination of hypertension can provide very interesting results for the clinicians. The case report demonstrates a patient suffering from two hormonally active tumors – adrenal adenoma with primary aldosteronism and primary Leydig cell ovarian tumor with hyperandrogenism. The task of the authors was easier due to the perimenopausal age of the proband. Selective venous sampling was very helpful in diagnosis of these endocrine active tumors. Both of them were resolved by a single laparoscopic surgery. The combination of the two described tumors is the really unique clinical finding. The solution using laparoscopy in a single procedure provided an elegant and efficient therapeutic approach.
