ABSTRACT
Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is well known for its association with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, it has also been linked to autoimmune disorders and hematological malignancies, particularly of B-cell lymphoid origin. Association with solid malignancies is poorly described in the literature. Non-HCV-related MC, in the setting of prostate cancer, has been reported only twice. Here, we describe a case of MC in a prostate cancer patient complicated by membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) that responded well to plasma exchange therapy and treatment with both corticosteroids and rituximab.
