POEMS syndrome is a constellation of findings, best thought of as a paraneoplastic syndrome due to clonal plasma cells:[1]
- Polyneuropathy.
- Organomegaly.
- Endocrinopathy.
- M-protein.
- Skin changes.
Diagnostic criteria
Requires both mandatory criteria and at least one each from major and minor criteria:[2]
Mandatory:
- Polyneuropathy (typically demyelinating).
- Monoclonal plasma cell proliferation (usually lambda).
Major:
- Castleman disease
- Sclerotic bone lesions.
- Vascular endothelial growth factor elevation.
Minor:
- Organomegaly (splenomegaly, hepatomegaly or lymphadenopathy).
- Extravascular volume overload.
- Endocrinopathy.
- Skin changes.
- Papilloedema.
- Thrombocytosis/polycythemia.
Pathology
- The pathologist may come across an undiagnosed case in the form of a glomeruloid hemangioma; however, glomeruloid hemangiomas are not always associated with the POEMS syndrome.[3]
- POEMS syndrome typically cause osteosclerotic bone deposits (so-called osteosclerotic myeloma), in contrast to the lytic lesions seen in more conventional plasma cell myeloma.[citation needed]
