A 60-year-old man with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of rapid progressive renal deterioration despite 3 cycles of oral melphalan and prednisolone (MP) therapy. Renal biopsy just before introducing hemodialysis revealed cast nephropathy and severe tubulo-interstitial infiltration of B lymphocytes. After 6 cycles of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone (R-COP) therapy, his renal function improved enough to discontinue hemodialysis. This is a rare case of WM-related renal involvement caused by both monoclonal protein and tumor infiltration and, to our knowledge, the second report on improved renal function by rituximab-based therapy.
