A case of Hodgkin's disease, associated with a reversible nephrotic syndrome that was believed to be due to compression of the inferior vena cava and renal veins by pathologic lymph nodes, is reported. Association of the 2 conditions, pathologic findings, and pathogenesis are briefly discussed. Emphasis is placed on the inclusion in work‐up of the nephrotic syndrome of inferior vena cava phlebography.
