    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1997 Feb; 92(2):326-8. PubMed ID: 9040216.
    Abstract:
    Malignancy is a cause of membranous glomerulonephritis. We report a patient with an otherwise asymptomatic squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus whose presenting manifestation was membranous glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome. Perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody was positive. This is the first reported case of perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated with paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome due to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
