POEMS syndrome is a constellation of findings:[1]

  • Polyneuropathy.
  • Organomegaly.
  • Endocrinopathy.
  • M-protein.
  • Skin changes.

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.[2]
