Second Department of Internal Medicine, Kyushu University, Faculty of Medicine, Fukuoka, Japan Renovascular hypertension was found in a fifty-four-year-old woman who had been diagnosed as having uterine cervical cancer, stage Ib, six months before admission. Renal arteriography showed a stenosis of the right renal artery with a significant increase in renal vein renin level from the ipsilateral kidney. Abdominal computed tomographic scanning showed enlarged lymph nodes in the para-aortic region at the level of the right renal artery, which suggested metastasis of the carcinoma. Metastatic lymph node swellings probably caused compression of the right renal artery.
