The authors report on the case of a 7 week-old boy, in whom a renal mass was discovered after general symptoms were observed. Within 48 h, cardiac failure secondary to systemic arterial hypertension occurred, requiring intensive care. After a few days of mechanical ventilation and alternating elevated and low blood pressure, improvement was obtained with captopril and frusemide enabling further investigations to be carried out which lead to the diagnosis of Wilms tumor. During left-sided nephrectomy, elevated renin from the left renal vein was found. The post surgical course was excellent. Several authors have reported on the association between arterial hypertension and nephroblastoma as being the result of hyperreninism due to hilar compression; however severe hypertension was uncommon. Renin activity determination from the tumoral tissue had led to a different interpretation, ie primary hyperreninism: in the case of mesoblastic nephroma, only the non tumoral but compressed tissue contains a large quantity of renin; in the case of nephroblastomas, only the tumoral tissue contains renin. The question now is whether all or only certain nephroblastomas secrete renin.
