POEMS Syndrome: An Atypical Presentation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
POEMS Syndrome is a rare disorder with multiple entities constituting it and it commonly presents in the fifth to sixth decade of life with a male predominance. We report a case of a 79-year-old male from South India who initially presented with vague complaints of tiredness and weakness for the past few months along with thrombocytopenia. Further investigations led to the discovery of the presence of Monoclonal plasma cell disorder with M Band in the Beta 1 region, severe sensorimotor polyneuropathy and other findings which fulfilled the criteria for POEMS syndrome
