Paraneoplastic Nephrotic Syndrome associated with Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC)

Paraneoplastic syndromes are frequently found in lung cancer and can often be the first manifestation of disease. While some of the paraneoplastic syndromes are commonly observed others like nephrotic syndrome are rare. We report here a rare case of an elderly male smoker presenting with nephrotic syndrome and an underlying occult malignancy non small cell lung carcinoma though without any obvious lung mass.
