We report 5 patients surgically treated for malignant tumors with nephrotic syndrome. The purpose of this report is to examine the post operative course with respect to the nephrotic syndrome. Only 1 patient had a malignant lymphoma, another 4 patients had colon cancer with nephrotic syndrome. Four out of five patients underwent a renal biopsy, and all of them had membranous glomerulonephritis. After surgical treatment of the tumors, remission of proteinuria and serum albumin can be expected.
