    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nephrology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Hypertension is a common condition, but in young individuals, its etiology requires thorough investigation.
    • Extra-adrenal phaeochromocytomas (EAPs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that can cause secondary hypertension.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a young woman presenting with hypertension attributed to an extra-adrenal phaeochromocytoma located in the left kidney hilum.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of the kidney hilum phaeochromocytoma successfully resolved the patient's hypertension.
    • The patient achieved normotension post-surgery, negating the need for antihypertensive medications.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering EAP in the differential diagnosis of hypertension in young patients.
    • Successful surgical management of EAP can lead to a complete cure of associated hypertension.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing EAP and its sequelae.
