Background: C3 glomerulopathy is caused by dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway. Association with solid organ tumors is rare. However, there have been a few case reports of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis secondary to gastrointestinal neoplasms. Case: A 38-year-old female presented with abdominal distension, loss of appetite, amenorrhea, and easy fatigability. She had been diagnosed 8 months back with C3 glomerulopathy and had received immunosuppression. On evaluation, she was incidentally detected to have Krukenberg tumor. The primary site of malignancy was gall bladder. Conclusion: Our case report highlights a possible association between C3 glomerulopathy and Krukenberg tumor secondary to gall bladder carcinoma and emphasizes the fact that even in cases of C3 glomerulopathy, occult malignancy should be considered as an underlying pathology.

Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a rare disease that shows hypoxia with severe pulmonary hypertension related to malignant tumor. Diagnosis is difficult due to rapid clinical progression and the need to demonstrate pathological findings from lung biopsy. A 64-year-old woman visited our hospital with hypoxia and pulmonary hypertension. Diffuse granular shadows in the centrilobular area and ground-glass shadows in both lungs and left ovarian tumor were found on radiological imaging. PTTM was suspected, but pulmonary artery blood aspiration by right cardiac catheter failed to detect cancer cells. We could not obtain lung or ovary biopsies because of hypoxia or pulmonary hypertension. The patient died due to respiratory failure. Signet ring cell carcinoma of unknown primary, PTTM, and Krukenberg tumor were diagnosed on autopsy. Since early diagnosis facilitates adequate treatment, physicians should not miss the opportunity for biopsy in cases of suspected PTTM.

Clinical Pictures

A case of malignant neoplasm is described in which the initial manifestations were mental dysfunction and meningeal irritation, mimicking chronic or subacute meningitis. Physical examination showed cranial nerve involvement and a pelvic tumor. There was progressive deterioration, and death occurred in 2 weeks. The autopsy revealed a gallbladder adenocarcinoma, meningeal carcinomatosis, and ovarian metastasis presenting as a Krukenberg tumor. The authors emphasize the importance of including meningeal carcinomatosis as a possibility in the differential diagnosis of non-characteristic clinical pictures, as well as the importance of the cerebrospinal fluid cytologic examination, repeated as needed, in order to confirm this diagnosis.
