We describe a patient with membranoproliferative glomerulopathy associated with a mixed-cell germinal ovary tumor (embryonal and dysgerminoma components). Advanced renal failure ensued without remission of nephrotic syndrome after surgery. Five other cases of ovary tumor associated with glomerulopathy and reported in the literature are reviewed. The association between membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and mixed-cell germinal ovary tumor has not been previously reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
