Abstract

We report here the interesting case of a 76-year-old man with severe proteinuria who was diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis accompanied by a clonal non-mast-cell lineage haematological disorder (a non-secretory plasma cell dyscrasia). This is a unique report of systemic mastocytosis with a non-secretory plasma cell dyscrasia and nephrotic syndrome. The pathophysiological relevance between these entities along with the probability of occult amyloidosis is discussed.
