Abstract
A patient with typical symptomatology, laboratory and roentgenographic findings of fibromuscular hyperplasia of both renal arteries is reported. The additional finding of the disease in the iliac vessel is noteworthy. Fifteen to twenty-eight per cent of patients with hypertension due to renal artery stenosis are found to have fibromuscular hyperplasia. It is emphasized that this disease may present itself in extrarenal vessels. With improved diagnostic and surgical techniques, treatment of the disease is possible wherever it manifests itself. The developmental mechanisms of the disease and the probability of occurrence in various vessels are discussed.
