This case report details a rare POEMS syndrome presentation in a 39-year-old male with progressive neuropathy and edema. Diagnosis involved Castleman-like lymphadenopathy and osteosclerotic plasmacytoma, offering insights into POEMS pathophysiology.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • POEMS syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity and varied clinical presentation.
  • Understanding the underlying pathophysiology is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old male presented with a 5-year history of progressive numbness in hands and feet.
  • He was admitted due to increasing dyspnea and lower leg edema.
  • Swollen inguinal lymph nodes revealed Castleman-like features: angiofollicular hyperplasia and vascular-plasmacytic proliferation.

Findings:

  • An osteosclerotic plasmacytoma with kappa light chain restriction was identified in the os ilium.

Related Experiment Videos

  • These findings, combined with the lymphadenopathy, led to the diagnosis of POEMS syndrome.
  • The case highlights the diverse histological manifestations within POEMS syndrome.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of rare POEMS syndrome presentations.
    • It underscores the importance of integrating lymph node pathology and bone marrow findings for accurate diagnosis.
    • Further research into the pathomechanisms of POEMS syndrome is warranted to improve patient outcomes.
