syndrome; trophoblastic disease Membranous nephropathy associated with placental site trophoblastic tumour: a case report Gestational trophoblastic disease is rarely associated with nephrotic syndrome. The most common renal complication in pregnant females is pre-eclamptic hypertensive nephropathy. Most cases have not been biopsied and thus the specific nature of renal involve-ment could not be ascertained. Only a few case reports exist in which gestational trophoblastic disease asso-ciated with nephrotic syndrome has been histologically documented [1–7]. We report a rare association of membranous nephropathy with gestational trophoblastic disease. Such an association has been documented in only on
