Ovarian tumor and glomerulopathies: case report and review of the literature

We describe a patient who developed nephrotic syndrome in the setting of ovarian tumor. A kidney biopsy showed minimal change nephropathy (MCN). CT scan and MR imaging followed by surgery lead to diagnostic of ovarian dermoid cyst. Surgery combined with corticosteroids resulted in a complete remissi...

description We describe a patient who developed nephrotic syndrome in the setting of ovarian tumor. A kidney biopsy showed minimal change nephropathy (MCN). CT scan and MR imaging followed by surgery lead to diagnostic of ovarian dermoid cyst. Surgery combined with corticosteroids resulted in a complete remission of nephrotic syndrome with disappearance of proteinuria after 3 weeks. Ten other cases of ovarian tumor associated with glomerulopathy are reviewed. This is the second case of an ovarian teratoma associated with MCN. Accurate history, physical examination, laboratory data, and kidney biopsy are highlighted in establishing the correct diagnosis in such patients.
