Abstract
Hemangiopericytoma is a rare perivascular tumor that often involves the extremities, pelvis, head and neck, and meninges, but rarely occurs in the kidney. The differentiation from renal cancer prior to surgery is extremely challenging; therefore, almost all cases of renal hemangiopericytoma are diagnosed by pathological examination. The majority of cases are identified in patients between the ages of 20 and 50 years of age, and a considerable proportion of patients exhibit hypertension, hypoglycaemia or additional paraneoplastic syndromes. The current study reports a rare case of renal hemangiopericytoma with drug refractory hypertension in a 14‑year‑old female. Following the complete resection of the tumor, the patient's blood pressure returned to normal. No evidence of recurrence or metastasis was observed during a follow‑up of 12 months following surgery. The present case indicated that surgery provides satisfactory outcomes and appears to be the most effective modality of treatment for renal hemangiopericytoma. Furthermore, this case also demonstrated that secondary hypertension may also recover following tumor excision.
