title: [Radiographic appearances of a renin secreting renal tumor. A rare cause of hypertension (author's transl)].
abstract: Eleven cases of hypertension due to a renin secreting renal tumor have been reported since 1967. Here we are dealing with another case which appeared as hypertension and cerebro vascular accident in a thirty - year old woman an I.V. Pyélogram and a renal angiogram showed a tumor in the upper pole of the left kidney. Renal veins renin dosage showed hypersecretion on the side of the tumor. The tumorectomy was followed by a normalization of blood pressure. The microscopic study confirmed the diagnosis of renin secreting juxta-glomerular cell tumor.
