RESUMO
We present a case of POEMS syndrome from Turkiye, a rare, multisystemic condition resulting from plasma cell dyscrasia. POEMS is an acronym representing its cardinal features: Peripheral neuropathy; Organomegaly; Endocrinopathy; Monoclonal plasma-cell proliferative disorder; and Skin changes. The syndrome has an estimated prevalence of 0.3 per 100,000 individuals and typically manifests in the fifth or sixth decade of life. Progressive peripheral neuropathy is the syndrome's most prominent symptom. To ensure an accurate diagnosis, a thorough medical history, physical examination, and comprehensive diagnostic evaluations are essential. These evaluations should include serum immunoelectrophoresis, serum cytokines, and growth factors, a skeletal survey, and a bone marrow biopsy. Early recognition and treatment of POEMS syndrome are crucial to prevent debilitating progression and to optimize clinical outcomes.
