Abstract
A case of angiotropic lymphoma involving renal glomeruli and interstitial vessels associated with nephrotic syndrome and with minor lesions in the glomerular basal membrane is reported. A 56-year-old woman had fever, weakness and clinical findings of a nephrotic syndrome with normal renal function. Renal biopsy revealed that the glomeruli were infiltrated by neoplastic lymphoid cells positive for CD20 and CD45; the glomerular basement membranes showed a pattern of minimal change disease. This case and our review of the literature suggest that the rare association of intravascular lymphoma and glomerular disease is more than coincidental.
