We report a case of a mixed cryoglobulinemio-associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, disclosing gastric lymphoma of MAL T-type. In the reported case, glomerulonephritis was associated with joint and skin symptoms related to type II mixed cryoglobulinemia. MALT lymphoma diagnosis was mode by gastric biopsy. Renal pathological examination showed relatively uncommon findings, ie mesongioproliferative glomerulonephritis locking usual intraluminal thrombi. Although classical, renal manifestations of malignant lymphomas are uncommon, and rarely allow lymphoma diagnosis. The renal biological function improves as the lymphoma regresses with appropriated treatment. This case underlines the benefit of gastroscopy in cryoglo-bulinemic etiological research.
