Eleven cases of hypertension secondary to a renal tumour secreting renin have been described in the literature between 1967 and 1978. The authors here report another case which presented with severe hypertension and a cerebrovascular accident in a 30-year-old woman. Intravenous urography and renal arteriography revealed a tumour of the upper pole of the left kidney. Estimation of renin levels in the renal veins demonstrated hypersecretion on the side of the tumour. Tumourectomy was followed by normalisation of blood pressure levels. Histological examination confirmed a diagnosis of a tumour of the juxtaglomerular apparatus.
