A patient whose nephrotic syndrome was controlled by steroids and cyclophosphamide was found to have gastric cancer. After removal of the tumor and discontinuing the steroid therapy, no recurrence of the clinical signs of nephrotic syndrome appeared, but moderate proteinuria persisted. The literature regarding the association of nephrotic syndrome with malignancies is reviewed.
