title: [Treatment by radiofrequency ablation for a renin-secreting juxtaglomerular tumour: a case report].
abstract: Juxtaglomerular cell tumors are rare and benign tumors, occurring in young patients. The standard treatment is partial nephrectomy. We report the case of a young 22-year-old patient with a renin-secreting tumor diagnosed during an exploration of severe hypertension associated with hypokalemia that we treated by radiofrequency ablation.
