| Popis: | 頭痛を主訴とした17歳女に発症した傍糸球体細胞腫例.本症は, これまでに40数例が報告されているに過ぎない比較的稀な疾患である We report a case of juxtaglomerular cell tumor. A 17-year-old female complained of headache with severe hypertension, hypokalemia, and elevated level of plasma renin activity. Computerized tomographic (CT) scan revealed a slightly enhanced tumor at middle pole of right kidney. Angiography showed a hypovascular tumor. A renin secreting tumor of the right kidney was diagnosed and right nephrectomy was performed. The pathological findings showed a juxtaglomerular cell tumor.
