Abstract/OtherAbstract:
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.
