[Paraganglioma associated with renal artery stenosis: unusual cause of secondary arterial hypertension. A case report and review of the literature].
Secreting paraganglioma is a rare cause of secondary HT and corresponds to an extra-adrenal phaeochromocytoma. This case reports the consecutive coexistence, with a free interval of 10 years, of dysplastic renovascular HT and abdominal paranganglioma in the organ of Zuckerkandl. This is a rare association which requires investigation of a common genetic predisposition (neural crest disease) and emphasizes the importance of long-term surveillance of these patients.
