POEMS Syndrome

POEMS Syndrome [Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes] also known as Crow–Fukase syndrome.

Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is a rare multisystemic disease that occurs in the setting of a plasma cell dyscrasia. The pathophysiologic link between the constellation of symptoms and the underlying disease is not well understood, but the link may be related to changes in the levels of a cytokine or a growth factor.[Mediscape]
