Abstract

A renin-secreting tumour has been observed in a 32-year-old female with severe hypertension known for 17 years. The excision of the tumour lead to the complete normalisation of the blood pressure. Histological examination showed that the tumour was benign, contained secretion granules at different stages of maturation, and derived from the juxta-glomerular apparatus. After reviewing the 40 cases previously reported in the literature we discuss the clinical presentation of this type of tumour and the approach to their diagnosis.
