Nephrotic syndrome associated with metastatic melanoma: a case report.

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) may occur after or concomitantly with malignancy. The use of immunosuppressive approaches in patients with cancer and NS is controversial, especially when the association between the pathologies is unclear. The aim of this study was to report the case of a patient with metastatic melanoma who developed NS and to examine the association between NS and neoplasia.
