Description
Summary:Paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis is an infrequent complication in the course of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (21 cases to date). We report a modality not previously described: mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis and mixed lymphocytic lymphoma, and review the literature on the subject.
