A 45-year-old Japanese man with Sjöogren's syndrome developed recurrent skin ulcers, palpable purpura, and dyspnea. Serum mixed-type cryoglobulin level was elevated. A biopsy of his skin lesion showed the characteristic leukocytoclastic vasculitis of mixed-type cryoglobulinemia. Dyspnea, skin ulcers, and purpura resolved along with a reduction in the serum cryoglobulin level after prednisolone administration. This patient demonstrated cryoglobulinemia-associated vasculitis, as well as possible cryoglobulinemia-associated pulmonary symptoms.
