Background: A juxtaglomerular cell tumor (JGCT), or a reninoma, is a rare renal tumor that can cause secondary hypertension. This is the first reported JGCT that was resected through robotic surgery. Case: We present a case of a 27-year-old female patient with 1.35-cm-sized JGCT in the lower pole of the right kidney. We effectively removed a JGCT through robot-assisted partial nephrectomy without any complications. Conclusion: The robot-assisted partial nephrectomy procedure could be a suitable choice for JGCT resection.
