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:

  1. Polyneuropathy (typically demyelinating)
  2. Monoclonal plasma cell proliferation (usually lambda)

Major:

  1. Castleman disease
  2. Sclerotic bone lesions
  3. Vascular endothelial growth factor elevation

Minor:

  1. Organomegaly (splenomegaly, hepatomegaly or lymphadenopathy)
  2. Extravascular volume overload
  3. Endocrinopathy
  4. Sking changes
  5. Papilloedema
  6. Thrombocytosis/polycythemia

POEMS syndrome is unusual in causing osteosclerotic bone deposits, so-called osteosclerotic myeloma, in contrast to the lytic lesions seen in more conventional plasma cell myeloma.
