Introduction: Glomerular diseases are pathological conditions affecting the renal glomeruli, microscopic structures responsible for ultrafiltration of blood plasma. These diseases can be primary (directly in the kidneys) or secondary to other conditions, such as diabetes mellitus. They are characterized by alterations in the permeability of the glomerular membrane. There is an increase in the number of cases of glomerulopathies associated with neoplasia, either as an initial manifestation of the condition or as they develop later in life. Objective: To verify the occurrence of glomerulopathies associated with neoplastic diseases, including their implications for diagnosis, clinical progression, and treatment. Methodology: This is an integrative review using PubMed and Google Academy databases over the past five years. The following English-language descriptors indexed in the Health Sciences Descriptors Database (DeCS/MeSH) were also combined: "Glomerulopathy," "Neoplasm," and "Paraneoplastic," along with the Boolean operator "AND" to associate the topics. The article selection process began with 19 articles and culminated in eight articles. This article was motivated by the research conducted by Garkusha et al., 2024. .Results and Discussion: A relationship was observed between a tumor located in the body, except in the kidneys, and glomerulopathies and their clinical manifestations. Conclusion: This review allows for a more critical look at onconephrology and the relationship between glomerulopathies and neoplasms. Interrelationships that were previously seen as irrelevant are now beginning to emerge in the academic field. Little is available for discussion; however, it is important to consider this diagnostic possibility based on the literature consulted.
