Abstract:
Waldenström's disease is a rare haematological neoplasm involving B lymphocytes, characterized by medullary infiltrated lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and by the presence of a monoclonal M paraprotein. Although rarely, this condition may lead to heterogeneous renal involvement and cause severe renal failure. We report the clinical case of a patient with overt nephrotic syndrome in Waldenström's disease treated with a combination chemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone) until complete renal and haematological remission.
