Abstract

ANDRESIK, Diego  and  RUSSO, M. Paula. Síndrome POEMS: Comunicación de cuatro casos. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2015, vol.75, n.5, pp.324-327. ISSN 0025-7680.

Four cases of a rare paraneoplastic syndrome associated to a plasmatic cell disorder with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy and skin lesions (POEMS) are here reported. The purpose of the communication is to warn of different forms of presentation of POEMS syndrome to decrease the time of diagnosis, because early treatment reduces sequels and improves quality of life in the long term, also to remark the importance of classifying the hematological disease for specific treatment.

Keywords : Polyneuropathy; POEMS.
