To describe a case of a renin-secreting ovarian tumor, which is a rare cause of hyperreninemia leading to secondary hypertension and hypokalemia.
We present the first case of a patient with a molecularly confirmed renin-secreting ovarian adult granulosa cell tumor.
A 31-year-old female presented with hypertension and amenorrhea. She was found to have spontaneous hypokalemia. Computed tomography scan showed a pelvic mass which was resected and found to be a renin-secreting ovarian adult granulosa cell tumor. The hypertension and hypokalemia resolved after the mass was resected.
Renin-secreting ovarian adult granulosa cell tumors are rare causes of hyperreninemia leading to hypertension and hypokalemia.
描述一例分泌肾素的卵巢肿瘤,这是导致继发性高血压和低钾血症的高肾素血症的罕见病因。
我们报告首例经分子学确诊的分泌肾素的卵巢成人颗粒细胞瘤患者。
一名31岁女性出现高血压和闭经。发现她有自发性低钾血症。计算机断层扫描显示盆腔有一肿块,切除后发现是分泌肾素的卵巢成人颗粒细胞瘤。肿块切除后,高血压和低钾血症得以缓解。
