Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of a renin-secreting ovarian tumor, which is a rare cause of hyperreninemia leading to secondary hypertension and hypokalemia. METHODS: We present the first case of a patient with a molecularly confirmed renin-secreting ovarian adult granulosa cell tumor. RESULTS: 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. CONCLUSION: Renin-secreting ovarian adult granulosa cell tumors are rare causes of hyperreninemia leading to hypertension and hypokalemia.
