title: [A case of nephrotic syndrome associated with bronchogenic carcinoma].
abstract: A 58-year-old fisherman was admitted because of an abnormal chest X-ray shadow on the right side. Bronchoscopic examination revealed tumor of right B7. Transbronchial biopsy showed squamous cell carcinoma. He was treated with four courses of CDDP and PEP. Two years later, he developed nephrotic syndrome and relapse of lung cancer. Proteinuria and pedal edema continued. Renal biopsy revealed the characteristic light and immunofluorescent microscopic features of membranous nephropathy. Oral administration of low dose etoposide resulted in reduction of the carcinomatous lung lesion and a decrease in proteinuria as well as pedal edema.
