ABSTRACT
The acronym POEMS syndrome was coined for a unique multisystem disorder characterised by peripheral neuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathies, monoclonal gammopathy and skin changes. We report a male patient presenting to us with spinal plasmacytoma complicated with paraplegia. He was subsequently diagnosed to have POEMS syndrome and successfully treated with thalidomide and dexamethasone. Post treatment, he is able to ambulate independently.
