ABSTRACT
POEMS is an acronym for a syndrome characterized by osteosclerotic myeloma polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein and skin changes. Hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, diabetes mellitus and adrenal failure can be associated to POEMS syndrome.

The patient had a secondary amenorrhea and a clinical hypothyroidism with negative antithyroidal antibodies. Substitutionwith levothyroxine was started.
