Abstract

We present the case of a 64-year-old female who was referred by her oncologist to benign hematology clinic for persistent asymptomatic cryoglobulinemia. Workup led to diagnosis of a rare low grade ovarian serous carcinoma. We briefly review the pathophysiology and clinical significance of cryoglobulinemia and the diagnosis and management of low grade serous ovarian carcinoma.

Keywords: Cryoglobulinemia; Low grade serous ovarian carcinoma.
