Abstract:
Juxtaglomerular cell tumor is a rare cause of secondary hypertension. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a clinicopathological entity associated with renal insufficiency and proteinuria. The exact diagnosis and proper management are important in both juxtaglomerular cell tumor and FSGS. We experienced a 26-year-old male who complained of a palpable abdomen mass associated with proteinuria and hypertension. Ultimately, he was diagnosed with a juxtaglomerular cell tumor combined with FSGS after nephrectomy. After operation, his hypertension normalized, while his renal function deteriorated.
