A 44-year-old woman suffered from recurrent fever, edema and fatigue. Laboratory data revealed renal dysfunction, low proteinemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and myelodysplasia. A renal and lymph node biopsy showed a marked angiogenesis. Serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and interleukin (IL)-6 were markedly increased, suggesting a pathogenesis related to VEGF-induced angiogenesis. The symptoms were remitted after treatment with cyclosporin A. No evidence of solid tumors, malignant lymphoma, Castleman's disease or POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrine disorder, M-proteinemia and skin change) syndrome, reported to induce a high serum VEGF level, was obtained. This case may have involved an unknown mechanism which induced an overexpression of VEGF and IL-6.
