We present the case of a 58-year-old woman with a
renin
secreting typical bronchopulmonary
carcinoid
. This patient showed hypotension, constipation and fatigue due to extensive hypokaliemia (K =1.9 meq/L). Aldosterone (102.7 ng/100 mL) and
renin
(46 ng/mL) were excessively elevated at that time, but cortisol level was normal. Routine chest roentgenography and computed tomography revealed a nodular lesion in the upper left lung lobe, which was suspicious for a neurosecretory pulmonary tumor. The final diagnosis was made by using bronchoscopic procedures and the histologically diagnosis was compatible as a typical pulmonary
carcinoid
. The tumor was resected curatively, and the
renin
and aldosterone level became normal. A year after the patient looks healthy.
