Abstract
A 7-year-old girl with membranous nephropathy is reported who suffered 16 months later from an orbital rhabdomyosarcoma. Proteinuria disappeared at the time of the remission of the tumor. Membranous nephropathy as paraneoplastic syndrome is exceptional in children, since only two other cases associated with a solid tumor have been reported in the literature.
