Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Peripheral neuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy and skin changes are often the presenting features of the POEMS syndrome. Approximately 50% of these are associated with osteosclerotic myeloma, a rare variant of multiple myeloma and some with Castleman's disease, an unusual lympho-proliferative disorder. The underlying pathogenetic mechanisms have not been elucidated but amelioration of symptoms with the disappearance of the M-component suggests possible etiopathogenic mechanisms. We present a 40-year-old woman with manifestations of all three disorders. |
