The coexistence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with carcinoid syndrome: A case report

Abstract

Carcinoid tumor is originated from neuroendocrine tumor family and a rarely presents in humans. Membranous and membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis were rarely reported with presence of carcinoid tumors. However, the coexistence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) with carcinoid syndrome have not been defined previously. We herein present a firs case report of FSGS during follow up of carcinoid syndrome.

Karsinoid sendroma eşlik eden fokal segmental glomerüloskleroz: Nadir bir olgu

Abstract

Karsinoid tümörler nöroendokrin tümör ailesinden olup nadiren karşılaşılmaktadır. Karsinoid sendrom seyrinde membranöz glomerülonefrit ve membrano-proliferatif glomerülonefrit olguları tanımlanmakla birlikte, karsinoid sendrom ile fokal segmental glomerüloskleroz (FSGS) birlikteliği daha önce tanımlanmamıştır. Burada ilk kez tanımlanan karsinoid sendrom FSGS birlikteliği sunulacaktır.

Keywords

• Karsinoid Sedrom, Fokal segmental glomerüloskleroz, glomerülonefrit
