Özet

Various systemic or primary glomerular diseases can result in deposition of fibrillary material in the glomerular tuft and may cause an important diagnostic challenge for the pathologists. Biopsy findings of a patient with type 2 diabetes is presented here in which striking fibrillary structures were identified in the mesangium by ultrastructural examination. The distinction between diabetic fibrillosis and fibrillary glomerulonephritis accompanying diabetic nephropathy is discussed in the setting of a literature review.
