A 14 year old girl with Hodgkin's disease presented with hypertension as an unusual paraneoplastic phenomenon. The elevated plasma renin activity recorded in this patient was possibly a result of Hodgkin's disease. Hypertension as well as plasma renin activity declined to normal values following her successful response to chemotherapy.
