Abstract:
The case of a young woman presenting with a renin-secreting soft tissue sarcoma is described. The primary extrarenal tumour as well as metastatic disease were associated with severe hypertension and both required surgical treatment. The location of these rare malignant tumours and their association with renin-dependent hypertension is discussed. In cases of this type, reappearance of hypertension suggests tumour recurrence.
