Figure 1 Glomerular deposits in membranous-like glomerulopathy with masked IgG-κ deposits (MGMIDs). (a) Brightly fuchsinophilic subepithelial deposits (arrows) are evident on this Masson trichrome stain from patient 11 (original magnification × 600). (b) Segmental spikes are present along the glomerular basement membranes by Jones methenamine silver stain in patient 6 (original magnification × 400).

Figure 2 Immunofluorescence findings from membranous-like glomerulopathy with masked IgG-κ deposit (MGMID) patient 11. Glomeruli stain negative for IgG by routine immunofluorescence on fresh tissue (a) and positive on paraffin-embedded tissue after pronase digestion (b) (direct immunofluorescence; original magnification × 400). Glomeruli show staining for κ (c) and not λ (d) on the pronase-digested tissue (direct immunofluorescence; original magnification × 400).

Figure 3 Electron-dense deposits of membranous-like glomerulopathy with masked IgG-κ deposits (MGMIDs). (a) A large hump-like subepithelial deposit is present along with subepithelial deposits more typical of membranous glomerulopathy in patient 4 (unstained, original magnification × 12,000). (b) Numerous subepithelial deposits typical of membranous glomerulopathy are present in patient 9 (unstained, original magnification × 12,000).
