Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) can present with myriad of morphological features. We report a case of MGRS in a 46-year-old man who presented with nephrotic-range proteinuria and renal insufficiency. Renal biopsy showed amorphous eosinophilic periodic acid-Schiff positive deposits in capillary loops and lamda light chain positivity on immunofluorescence, suggestive of cyoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis. Serum cryoglobulins were positive. Serum immunoelectrophoresis and immunofixation showed a M band of 0.5 g/dl of IgG lambda type. Bone marrow showed 8% of plasma cells which confirmed the diagnosis of MGRS.
