title: [Glomerulopathy and hypomelanosis of Ito].
abstract: Hypomelanosis of Ito is a rare neuroectodermal syndrome characterized by specific cutaneous lesions and frequent musculoskeletal or visceral involvement. We report on a child with an original nephritis with major segmental abnormalities of the glomerular basement membrane. Such an association might not be fortuitous and glomerular involvement might be underestimated in hypomelanosis of Ito.
