“…In all previous reports, a tumor has been visible on imaging prior to surgery. While earlier reports described nephrectomy as standard therapy, improvement in preoperative localization procedures has allowed the development of renal-sparing, minimally invasive surgery [6,7] and electrolyte control was satisfactory in our patient with medical therapy. However, a laparoscopic approach allowed minimal morbidity associated with nephrectomy, her blood pressure subsequently returned to normal thus blood pressure and the procedure was curative.…”

“…14,15 Due to the benign nature of juxtaglomerular cell tumors, and because they are usually small and peripherally located, there has been a move towards nephron sparing surgery 15,16 instead of complete nephrectomy. As more cases are reported in the literature and more is learnt about the condition a recent publication has recommended a new classification system into typical, atypical and nonfunctioning juxtaglomerular cell tumors depending on blood pressure and serum potassium.…”

A 17-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with severe refractory hypertension evolving over approximately 4 years. Despite not having the resources to identify plasma-renin levels and using standard imaging techniques, a juxtaglomerular cell tumor was suspected and was histologically confirmed after surgical excision. This is a potentially lethal condition if left untreated and surgical excision is curative. The benign nature of the tumor is emphasized and its chemical, radiological and microscopic appearance discussed according to the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a patient surviving a cerebrovascular accident associated with a juxtaglomerular cell tumor. Case ReportA 17-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a fouryear history of hypertension. Initially this was associated with headaches but six months prior to referral she had suffered a cerebrovascular accident leading to a right hemiplegia. Her blood pressure was poorly controlled, despite being on Furosemide 40mg once daily, Losartan 50mg once daily, Methyldopa 500mg three times daily and Captopril 12.5mg three times daily. She had no known drug allergies and there was nothing else specific in her medical or family history. On examination her heart rate was 80 beats per minute and her blood pressure was 220/160. Her heart sounds were normal and her chest was clear. Her abdomen was soft and non-tender with no organomegaly or palpable masses. Initial investigations included full blood count, urea and electrolytes, twice daily blood pressure monitoring and an ultrasound scan of her abdomen. The results showed she was in renal failure with a urea of 74 mg/dL and creatinine of 5

“…Reninoma or Juxtaglomerular cell (JGC) tumor is a rare benign neoplasm and surgically correctable cause of hypertension [4,5]. It occurs primarily in children and young adults, and there is a female predominance (approximately 2:1) [3][4][5][6].…”

We present a case of myocardial infarction in a young female with reninoma induced hypertension and myocardial bridging. Reninoma is a rare and curable cause of secondary hypertension. Currently developed multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has permitted better evaluation of myocardial infarction and myocardial bridging. Myocardial infarction associated with reninoma and myocardial bridging has not been reported, and we report this interesting case.
