Cryoglobulinaemia and septal perforation: a rare but logical cause.
A case of nasal septal perforation secondary to cryoglobulinaemia is reported. In this instance the cryoglobulinaemia was due to Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia (lymphoplasmocytic lymphoma with IgM paraprotein) in which the paraprotein was a potent cryoglobulin.
