Glomerulosclerosis, a kidney disease, is rarely linked to cancer. This study presents rare cases of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and collapsing glomerulosclerosis in patients with nephrotic syndrome and cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Glomerulosclerosis is typically not recognized as a paraneoplastic glomerular lesion.
  • Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) has been infrequently associated with solid tumors.

Observation:

  • This study details four patients with nephrotic syndrome and concurrent malignancy.
  • Three patients presented with focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
  • One patient exhibited collapsing glomerulosclerosis.

Findings:

  • The findings suggest a potential, albeit rare, association between certain types of glomerulosclerosis and malignancy.
  • The cases highlight the importance of considering paraneoplastic glomerular disease in patients with unexplained nephrotic syndrome and cancer.

Implications:

  • These observations may broaden the understanding of paraneoplastic syndromes.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms linking malignancy and glomerulosclerosis.
  • Early recognition could potentially improve patient outcomes by addressing both the glomerular disease and the underlying cancer.
