Minimal change disease: an unusual presentation of marginal zone MALT lymphoma.

Minimal change disease (MCD) in association with low-grade extra-nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) (MALT lymphoma) is a rare clinicopathologic entity. We report a 68-year-old male who presented with nephrotic range proteinuria as the first manifestation of underlying MZL, confirmed with standard set of investigations. Being a steroid non-responder, he was treated with rituximab demonstrating a marked response with resolution of proteinuria. However, he relapsed after 3 months. Upon relapse, a combination of rituximab and bendamustine (R-Benda) was initiated achieving sustained resolution of proteinuria. No additional treatment was administered and the proteinuria has remained in remission for over a year.
