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.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology publishes manuscripts broadly relevant to diseases of the skin and mucosae, with the aims of advancing scientific knowledge regarding dermatopathology and enhancing the communication between clinical practitioners and research scientists. Original scientific manuscripts on diagnostic and experimental cutaneous pathology are especially desirable. Timely, pertinent review articles also will be given high priority. Manuscripts based on light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy, histochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, and genetics, as well as allied sciences, are all welcome, provided their principal focus is on cutaneous pathology. Publication time will be kept as short as possible, ensuring that articles will be quickly available to all interested in this speciality.
