The case of a 49 years old man with ulcero necrotic lesions on areas of his body exposed to cold is presented.

This cryoglobulin has shown to consist of two paraproteins, IgG type with kappalight chains. Cryofibrinogen has been detected in the precipitate as well. A clinical discussion is made emphazising the nosographic, etiopathogenic and therapeutic implications of the case being published.
