Abstract

An unusual case of juxtaglomerular cell tumor (JCT) is presented. A 29-year-old woman visited our hospital for the management of incidentally detected renal mass due to newly developed hypertension in the 20^th week of pregnancy. Laboratory studies showed increased basal plasma renin activity and hypokalemia but serum aldosterone level was normal. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed ~ 2.4 cm sized multicystic mass in the right kidney. Nephron-sparing surgery was performed with excellent results. On histological examination, the tumor exhibited a structure typical feature of JCT. A few days later the patient's blood pressure had been normalized.
