ABSTRACT
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) is an uncommon condition, accounting for only 2% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cases. Individuals with LPL face the risk of vascular blockage when associated with type I cryoglobulinemia, leading to related symptoms. Until now, no instances of LPL with dry gangrene have been documented. However, we present a rare case involving LPL accompanied by dry gangrene in both the right upper extremity (RUE) and left lower extremity (LLE). The patient was effectively managed using a combination of chemotherapy, steroids, plasmapheresis, and salvage surgery.
