Abstract

A 60-year-old male was admitted from the emergency department with extensive leg ulcers and polyarticular joint pain. Cryocrystalglobulinemia was diagnosed through positive cryoglobulin studies and characteristic histopathological findings. Treatment with bortezomib led to complete clinical resolution. Cryocrystalglobulinemia poses diagnostic and management challenges, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration for optimal patient care.

Keywords: cryocrystalglobulinemia; crystalglobulinemia; gammopathy of clinical significance; type I cryoglobulinemia.
