A 65 year old woman had a minimal changes nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) with steroid-induced remission. An underlying malignancy was discovered at the time of relapse of proteinuria: it was a retroperitoneal chordoid sarcoma. Even though the tumor could not be excised, complete remission was again observed with corticosteroids. There was no second relapse when prednisone was discontinued and during the seven months before the patient died. This is a new unusual case of MCNS associated with carcinoma. The response of nephrotic syndrome steroid therapy is further suggestive evidence that deficiency in T-cell function may be involved.
