An autopsy case of a 20 year‐old female with lesion similar to those of lipoid nephrosis and given a large amount of steroid hormones was reported. The kidneys showed peculiar findings which were similar to those of diabetes mellitus and possibly modified by long‐standing use of steroids. In the present case, however, exudative lesions were prominent and nodular lesions were scanty in contrast with those of Kimmelsteil‐Wilson syndrome.
