Histiocytic glomerulopathy, an entity characterized by glomerular infiltration by foamy histiocytes with endothelial injury, has recently been reported as a manifestation of hemophagocytic syndrome. We report a case of histiocytic glomerulopathy in a woman receiving chemotherapy for ovarian serous carcinoma with proteinuria in whom hemophagocytic syndrome was not clinically suspected.
