Unravelling a mystery of hypokalemic hypertension- a rare case report of a reninoma.
BMC Endocr Disord
December 2024
National Hospital of Sri Lanka, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Background: Reninoma is a rare cause of secondary hypertension, which can be cured with surgery if identified early before any target organ damage occurs. It leads to hypokalaemia and hypertension and typically responds well to treatment with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers. However, confirmation of the diagnosis and the localisation of this rare culprit lesion can be challenging.

Juxtaglomerular cell tumor (JGCT) is an exceptionally rare renal tumor with a predominantly benign clinical course and classically bland histology. It commonly presents in young adults and manifests as hypertension related to renin secretion. We report a JGCT initially thought to be a renal cell carcinoma.

Renin-secreting tumours are rare causes of secondary hypertension and hypokalaemia. They are usually surgically curable, hence proper diagnostic work-up and tumour localisation is essential. In this paper, we present three Swedish patients recently diagnosed with renin secreting tumours, two with reninomas and one with an extrarenal renin-producing tumour, to illustrate diagnostic challenges.

A woman 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant was referred to the emergency department with significant hypertension which, despite aggressive medical management, remained uncontrolled. Markedly elevated levels of renin and aldosterone beyond what is typical in early pregnancy were present, which together with the finding of a right ovarian cyst pointed to the possible diagnosis of an extrarenal reninoma.and the decision was made to perform a right-sided oophorectomy at 16 weeks gestation.
