[Associated glomerulonephritis in immunocytoma].
It is reported on a 43-year-old patient in whom a mesangio-proliferative glomerulonephritis with nephrotic syndrome was diagnosed 7 months before manifestation of an immunocytoma. Under the treatment of the tumourous disease with chemotherapy and radiation a complete remission of the glomerulonephritis developed. The patient died of a generalized herpes zoster after 2 years 10 months. At the postmortem examination no pathological changes on the kidneys could be proved. After a survey of cases with tumour-associated glomerulonephirits published up to now possible pathogenetic mechanisms and clinical data of the glomerulonephritis as paraneoplastic syndrome are discussed.
