Abstract

We describe a case of a 32-year-old patient with ulcerative colitis complicated by Hodgkin s disease who presented with nephrotic syndrome. The patient had suffered from relapsing ulcerative colitis for 6 years before he developed Hodgkin s lymphoma. He was treated for Hodgkin s disease with 9 cycles of combined chemotherapy (COPP/ABV) and achieved the stabile remission of lymphoma, nephrotic syndrome, and ulcerative colitis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on ulcerative colitis associated with Hodgkin s disease and nephrotic syndrome.
