A Case of Mixed Type II Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis Associated With Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma.
Curēus 2022 December
Our patient is a male in his 40s with a past medical history of sickle cell trait, factor V Leiden mutation, marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and sarcoidosis who presented with the complaint of hemoptysis, dyspnea, abdominal pain, arthralgias, peripheral edema of the lower extremities with petechial rash, and oliguria. Investigations revealed acute kidney injury and bilateral transudative pleural effusion. Serology was positive for elevated rheumatoid factor, low complement components, and cryoglobulins. Renal biopsy showed membranoproliferative cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis with deposition of monoclonal IgM and IgG3 with kappa light chain and C3 component. The patient was diagnosed with mixed type II cryoglobulinemic vasculitis in the setting of untreated marginal B-cell lymphoma. He had a complex clinical course, requiring multiple intubations, hemodialysis, and treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin, plasmapheresis, steroids, and chemotherapy, to which he initially responded. During treatment, he developed cardiomyopathy associated with congestive heart failure and passed away due to cardiac arrest. We present a rare case of mixed type II cryoglobulinemic vasculitis secondary to untreated marginal zone B-cell lymphoma in a hepatitis C virus (HCV) negative patient, which has not been reported before.
