Extrarenal renin-producing tumors are rare in children. This case report details an 8-year-old boy with hepatoblastoma, hypertension, and high plasma renin, which resolved after chemotherapy and surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Endocrinology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Renin-producing tumors of extrarenal origin are exceptionally rare in pediatric patients.
  • Hypertension in children can be associated with various underlying conditions, including rare tumors.

Observation:

  • An 8-year-old boy presented with hypertension and elevated plasma renin levels.
  • The patient was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a primary liver cancer in children.

Findings:

  • Chemotherapy led to the normalization of plasma renin levels and spontaneous resolution of hypertension.
  • Surgical resection (right trisegmentectomy and partial resection) of the hepatoblastoma was performed.
  • Immunohistochemical and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction studies confirmed the resected tumor as the source of renin production.

Implications:

  • This case highlights hepatoblastoma as a potential cause of renin-mediated hypertension in children.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of such tumors can lead to favorable outcomes, including resolution of hypertension.
  • Further research into rare renin-producing pediatric tumors is warranted to improve understanding and management.
