ABSTRACT
The association between nephrotic syndrome (NS), hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), and certain paraneoplastic syndromes has been documented in the literature. However, nephrotic changes as part of paraneoplastic syndromes are rare in lymphoid malignancies, particularly in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We report the sudden onset of acute renal failure and NS in a 14-year-old male who initially presented with HLH and was subsequently diagnosed with ALK-positive anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). The treatment of ALCL reversed both the HLH and NS findings. This case demonstrates the importance of considering lymphoma in pediatric patients presenting with NS and HLH.
