概要 We encountered a 77-year-old Japanese man who presented with nephrotic-range proteinuria 20 days after receiving ramucirumab treatment for metastatic sigmoid colon cancer. A kidney biopsy showed two characteristic histological findings. The first finding was podocyte injury with cellular crescent-like formation, although focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (collapsing variant) according to the Columbia classification may have been a more appropriate name for this injury, as hypertrophy and hyperplasia of epithelial cells, presumably resulting from podocyte injury, were seen between Bowman's capsule and the glomerular basement membrane (GBM); these changes appeared to be due to the collapse of the GBM rather than to GBM destruction with fibrinoid necrosis. The second finding was endotheliopathy characterized by prominent mesangial interposition via enlargement of the mesangial matrix with mesangiolysis. Proteinuria and renal dysfunction subsided after discontinuation of ramucirumab. Bevacizumab has been reported to induce glomerular microangiopathy with endothelial damage and swelling six months after treatment, but in this case, ramucirumab may have induced focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) collapsing variant and glomerular microangiopathy with endotheliopathy via mesangial damage within 1 month. We believe that the damage to the glomerular podocyte and endothelial cells via mesangial damage secondary to ramucirumab in our patient was a different type of glomerular microangiopathy than the endothelial cell damage with enlargement of the subendothelial space caused by bevacizumab.
