Hypertens Pregnancy. 2008;27(4):406-12. doi: 10.1080/10641950801955717.

Abstract

Hypertension due to a reninoma (suspected on the basis of biochemical and clinical features, and exquisite sensitivity of hypertension to angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] inhibition, but not visible on imaging) was cured by laparoscopic nephrectomy. Treatment was followed by an uneventful pregnancy.
