Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and membranous glomerulonephropathy are two entities that may result in the nephrotic syndrome. Two young women exhibited concurrent focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and focal segmental membranous nephropathy on renal biopsy. Although the lesions were severe, both patients had asymptomatic proteinuria, normal renal function, and a benign clinical course. The concurrence of these glomerulopathies may portend a more benign clinical course than expected for a patient presenting with either lesion alone.
