Abstract: Reninoma is a rare cause of renin-induced hypertension commonly seen in young adults and adolescents. Here, we describe a case of reninoma presenting with hypertension in the young. Further investigation revealed elevated renin and aldosterone levels. Computed tomography of the kidneys showed a right-sided renal mass. A diagnosis of reninoma was made, and the patient underwent nephron-sparing surgery, which rendered her normotensive post-operatively.
