[Malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with visual disorders and nephrotic syndrome]

A favourable outcome is reported in a 65-year-old patient with malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in whom early manifestations were papillitis and nephrotic syndrome due to membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The pathogenesis of the ophthalmologic and renal disease may be associated with the malignant lymphoma. Under cytostatic treatment (prednisone, chlorambucil, vincristine) the malignant lymphoma went into still-lasting remission accompanied by a normalization of the ophthalmologic and renal functions.
