There is considerable circumstantial evidence relating neoplasia to glomerular injury. Recently, more convincing evidence has been derived from the demonstration of tumor-associated antigen or antibody to such antigen, in relation to glomerular basement membranes in four patients with glomerular injury and cancer. The most common form of glomerulopathy reported in patients with carcinoma has been membranous glomerulonephritis. However, increased mesangial cells and matrix have also been found in some patients with hematuria and progressive renal failure. In contrast, most patients with Hodgkin's disease and glomerulopathy have had the minimal lesion-type nephrotic syndrome, which has usually responded to successful treatment of the Hodgkin's disease. Glomerular abnormalities have also been reported with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lymphosarcoma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, and benign tumors. When there is no apparent cause, proteinuria with or without hematuria or impaired renal function should suggest the possibility of associated neoplasia, particularly in elderly patients.

The histopathologic study of 103 patients with Hodgkin's disease including 5 cases who had staging laparotomy during the last 10 years were reviewed. The following conclusions were drawn: 1. No significant sex difference among subtypes were noted. 2. Associated glomerulopathy, nephrotic syndromes, and amyloidosis were occasionally found. 3. In childhood lymphomas excluding leukemia are the most frequent malignacies. Among the lymphomas, Hodgkin's disease predominates. 4. The most frequent subtype both in the original biopsy and after staging laparotomy was mixed cellularity. The nodular sclerosis type was the rarest. The subtypes generally did not change in the subsequent biopsies and in laparatomy done up to 6 months later. 5. It is most frequently noted in cervical area. Males are affected more than females. The peak incidence was in the first decade of age group. A brief review of the literature and discussion on the comparison of data from other countries is given.

Hodgkin's disease is a rare cause of secondary amyloidosis. In Scotland in the period 1961 to 1974 four patients in whom these 2 conditions were associated have been identified. In one of these the presence of amyloidosis was an unexpected finding at a staging laparotomy for Hodgkin's disease. The clinical and pathological features are summarised. The development of amyloid disease is usually suspected by the finding of proteinuria, which is rarely present in uncomplicated Hodgkin's disease. A distinction is made between a nephrotic syndrome due to glomerulopathy, which is an early complication of Hodgkin's disease and improves with treatment of the primary condition, and the nephrotic syndrome due to amyloidosis which occurs late in the course of the illness and is irreversible and rapidly progressive.

The histopathologic studies of 103 patients under 16-years old with Hodgkin's disease including 5 cases who had staging laparotomy during the last 10 years were reviewed. The following conclusions were drawn: 1. No significant sex differences among subtypes were noted. 2. Associated glomerulopathy, nephrotic syndromes, and amyloidosis were occasionally found. 3. In childhood, lymphomas excluding leukemia are the most frequent malignancies. Among the lymphomas, Hodgkin's disease predominates. 4. The most frequent subtype both in the original biopsy and after staging laparatomy was mixed cellularity. The nodular sclerosis type was the rarest. The subtypes generally did not change during the subsequent biopsies and in laparotomy done up to 6 months later. 5. Lymphomas were most frequently noted in cervical area. Males are affected more severely than females. The peak incidence was around 8 years. A brief review and discussion on the comparison of data from other countries are also given.

A review is presented of the association between a glomerular disease and a malignancy. The incidence of Hodgkin's disease in patients with glomerulopathy is very low, but the incidence of a solid tumour in a patient with glomerulopathy varies between 3 and 13%, mean 7%, and may be as high as 22% in patients over 60 years of age with a membranous nephropathy. A solid tumour was found most frequently in patients with membranous nephropathy. On the other hand, minimal change nephropathy is often associated with Hodgkin's disease and membrano-proliferative glomerulopathy with chronic lymphatic leukaemia. In Hodgkin's disease-associated glomerulopathy, a defect in the function of T lymphocytes is probably important, but the precise pathogenesis has not yet been elucidated. The other glomerulopathies may be mediated by immune complexes, containing tumour-derived antigens and their antibodies, either formed in situ or deposited as complexes from the circulation.

From a series of 138 patients with Hodgkin's disease seen over a 17-year period, 2 developed the nephrotic syndrome. One patient developed hematuria unrelated to cytotoxic chemotherapy or thrombocytopenia. All three patients had evidence of glomerulopathy on histologic examination of renal tissue, but none had the more usually associated minimal-change glomerular histologic features. The patients with nephrotic syndrome had effective clinical regression with systemic chemotherapy. The significance of renal glomerular disease in association with Hodgkin's disease is discussed.

A 56-year-old man had fever, precordial pain, and a mediastinal mass. The mass disappeared two months later and the patient remained asymptomatic for 2 1/2 years. At that time a full-blown nephrotic syndrome developed, with minimal-change glomerulopathy. The chest x-ray film showed the reappearance of a giant mediastinal mass. On biopsy of the mass, malignant thymoma was diagnosed. Association between minimal-change disease and Hodgkin's disease is well known, while the association with malignant thymoma has not been previously reported. The relationship between malignant thymoma and minimal-change disease is discussed, and a possible pathogenic mechanism involving cell-mediated immunity is proposed.

Nephrotic syndrome is a rare presentation of Hodgkin's disease. Majority of these cases have minimal change disease and some cases present as membranous glomerulopathy. This report presents the case of a child with nephrotic syndrome associated with Hodgkin's disease.

Glomerular lesions have been reported to occur in association with a wide variety of malignancies, particularly carcinomas and lymphomas. Patients with the neoplastic diseases are exposed to continuous antigenemia, which stimulates antibody production and forms circulating immune complexes. Membranous nephropathy appears to be the most common glomerular lesion in patients with solid tumors, and minimal change glomerulopathy is another major form of glomerular disease associated with lymphomas, particularly with Hodgkin's disease. Three cases of nephropathy associated with anaplastic oat cell bronchial carcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma and Hodgkin's disease were studied histologically, ultrastructurally and by immunofluorescence. The diagnosis of glomerulopathy preceded the diagnosis of malignant disease. All three patients were admitted to hospital because of nephrotic syndrome. The paraneoplastic glomerulopathies were histologically identical to that of idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis and minimal change glomerulonephritis. Adult patients over the age of 50-60 with nephrotic syndrome caused by glomerulonephritis, especially by membranous nephropathy, should be screened for cancer.

Authors reported on transplantation glomerulopathy (TGP), occurred in a patient's cadaver kidney allograft, as well as on orchitis, lymphogranulomatosis (Hodgkin's lymphoma) and lip cancer detected thereafter in the same patient. While TGP was definitely be verified morphologically, all other observed diseases are commonly and typically met with membranous glomerulopathy (MGP), which is a separate entity. Similar case has not yet been reported in the literature. Since in majority of the cases the MGP is a paraneoplastic phenomenon, and the TGP is a part of chronic rejection in kidney allografts the differential diagnosis may have therapeutic consequences.
