Abstract

It can be associated with malignancy especially in elderly patients, however; sometimes it is difficult to distinguish. Hereby we present an interesting case of primary membranous nephropathy in a patient with renal cell carcinoma.

Keywords: Membranous nephropathy; malignancy; phospholipase A2 Receptor antibody; renal cell carcinoma.
