A 10-year-old boy presented with oedema. Panhypoproteinaemia due to excessive enteric protein loss was demonstrated, and further investigation revealed the cause to be lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin's lymphoma. Appropriate chemotherapy resulted in a dramatic improvement in the serum protein level and resolution of the proptosis and lymphadenopathy.
