  • Title: [Small cell lung cancer revealed by extramembranous glomerulonephritis].
    Author: Grivaux M, Renault D, Gallois JC, Barbanel C, Blanchon F.
    Journal: Rev Mal Respir; 2001 Apr; 18(2):197-9. PubMed ID: 11424717.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of small-cell lung cancer limited to the thorax but with malignant pleural effusion in a 47-year-old man that was revealed by a nephrotic syndrome due to membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN). Chemotherapy led to a partial tumor response with total resolution of the nephrotic syndrome. Tumor relapse did not provoke proteinuria. Primary lung cancer is the cause of about 3% of all cases of MGN and 40% of tumor-related MGN. There are 49 cases of tumor-related MGN in the literature, including 9 cases of small-cell lung cancer.
