Abstract

Membranous glomerulonephritis is the most common glomerular disease associated with malignancy, the association of minimal change glomerulopathy with solid tumor is still uncommon. We report a 72-year-old man with nephrotic syndrome due to minimal change glomerular disease; an accurate seek of underlying malignancy revealed a cecum adenocarcinoma. We had a complete remission of nephrotic syndrome after surgery of carcinoma.
