Malignant mesothelioma can present insidiously with progressive
breathlessness and chest pain. Paraneoplastic, or non-chest related,
presentations are very rare. The case of an elderly man with
occupational exposure to asbestos who presented with nephrotic syndrome
due to minimal change nephropathy in the context of advanced pleural
mesothelial malignancy is reported.
