title: [Renal hemangiopericytoma and secondary hypertension].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Tumors arising from pericytes are rare; even more so are those located in the kidney. A case of renal hemangiopericytoma is described herein. The literature is reviewed with special reference to the unclear prognosis of the foregoing condition and the therapeutic approach.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 51-year-old male with renal hemangiopericytoma who underwent radical nephrectomy is described.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The arterial hypertension that had led to the diagnosis of this neoplasm remitted after surgery and can be considered to be a paraneoplastic manifestation.
