She presented with chronic acrocyanosis, mainly in her left lower extremity, extending distally from her mid thigh with concurrent ulcerations in her foot resulting in immobility secondary to pain. She experienced these symptoms for years without a definitive diagnosis. The lack of diagnosis was due, in part, to her atypical symptoms and laboratory findings that required a high level of clinical suspicion to diagnose. Extensive autoimmune workup was largely unrevealing with the exception of a cold agglutinin titer of 1:250 and a positive anticomplement C3b direct antiglobulin test. A diagnosis of cold agglutinin disease was made and treatment with rituximab monotherapy was initiated.This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) which permits non-commercial use, reproduction and distribution of the work without further permission provided the original work is attributed as specified on the SAGE and Open Access pages (https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage).
