description A 43-year-old man was found to have hematuria and proteinuria during a regular checkup. Workup revealed a renal mass on a CT scan. He continued to have worsening proteinuria and hematuria, with declining renal function, so a renal biopsy was performed, which revealed lupus nephritis class IV. He underwent partial nephrectomy, which confirmed the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma on pathology. He was started on glucocorticoids, hydroxychloroquine, and cyclophosphamide for lupus nephritis.
