Key result
Nephrectomy resolves uncontrolled hypertension in a rare case of juxtaglomerular cell tumor.
Why the study?
Juxtaglomerular cell tumor is an unusual renal neoplasm typically presenting with uncontrolled hypertension, with approximately 100 cases reported to date.
Case Report (n=1)
Juxtaglomerular cell tumor (reninoma) is a rare renal neoplasm that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of uncontrolled secondary hypertension.
Juxtaglomerular cell tumor, otherwise known as reninoma, is an unusual renal neoplasm arising from vascular smooth muscles of the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney. It usually presents with uncontrolled hypertension. Approximately 100 cases have been reported till date. We present here a rare case of juxtaglomerular cell tumor, which presented with uncontrolled hypertension and was proceeded with nephrectomy.
