Background: Paraneoplastic minimal change disease (MCD) has been associated with hematological malignancies, whereas solid malignancies are commonly associated with membranous glomerulonephritis. In this systematic review of the literature, we describe the clinical features, treatment and outcome of MCD associated with solid neoplasms.
Methods: We performed a systematic review of the MEDLINE, COCHRANE, EMBASE and SCOPUS databases, including case reports of adult patients with biopsy-proven MCD and solid malignancy, without language or time restrictions.
