The nephrotic syndrome complicating malignancy is an unusual occurrence. We report here four cases of nephrotic syndrome associated with malignant tumours. Three cases were associated with bronchogenic carcinoma and one with adenocarcinoma of colon. One of the four cases developed nephrotic syndrome before the discovery of bronchogenic carcinoma. All patients had renal biopsies with light microscopy, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. The findings suggest an immune-complex disease complicating malignancy. The true incidence of nephrotic syndrome associated with malignant tumours is unknown. However it is clinically prudent to screen for malignancy in older patients presenting with nephrotic syndrome.
