Abstract

POEMS syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome due to an underlying plasma cell disorder. The diagnosis of POEMS syndrome can be a challenge. A good history, physical examination, and appropriate testing can aid in establishing its diagnosis. We are presenting the case of a 75-year-old man who was diagnosed with POEMS syndrome.

Keywords: POEMS syndrome; Paraneoplastic syndrome; plasma cell neoplasm; polyneuropathy.
