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.
