Abstract:
:This report presents a case of a 16-year-old hypertensive boy who presented to our clinic. Laboratory findings showed severe hypokalemia and markedly increased plasma renin activity. Abdominal ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a well-circumscribed, solid, hypoenhancing cortical lesion (2 cm) in the lower pole of the left kidney. The patient underwent nephron-sparing surgery. Histopathologic examination gave a diagnosis of juxtaglomerular cell tumor. Reninoma is an uncommon cause of hypertension in a young adult and should be included in the differential diagnosis as a potential life-threatening and curable condition. The conservative surgical management is the gold standard for small, circumscribed lesions.
