A case of POEMS syndrome in a 43-year-old male with polyneuropathy, osteolytic lesion of the basin due to solitary IgA-lambda plasmacytoma, cutaneous scleroderma-like changes, diffuse lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly is described. Liver biopsy showed a regenerative process of the parenchyma without laboratory and histologic evidence of necrosis. A peculiar finding was the onset of a right hemiparesis in the absence of signs of vascular disease or other predisposing factors. The possible links between the peculiar elements of the POEMS syndrome are briefly analyzed and discussed.

Abstract
A case of POEMS syndrome in a 43-year-old male with polyneuropathy, osteolytic lesion of the basin due to solitary IgA-lambda plasmacytoma, cutaneous scleroderma-like changes, diffuse lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly is described. Liver biopsy showed a regenerative process of the parenchyma without laboratory and histologic evidence of necrosis. A peculiar finding was the onset of a right hemiparesis in the absence of signs of vascular disease or other predisposing factors. The possible links between the peculiar elements of the POEMS syndrome are briefly analyzed and discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
