POEMS syndrome

POEMS syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by polyradiculoneuropathy (P), organomegaly (O), endocrinopathy (E), clonal plasma cell disorder (M), and skin changes (S). Other features include papilledema, extravascular volume overload, sclerotic bone lesions, thrombocytosis/erythrocytosis, and elevated VEGF levels.

Fujita K, Hatta K.
J Cutan Pathol. 2019;46(4):280-284.
The lesions resembled a tufted angioma, although those of case 1 partially resembled a glomeruloid hemangioma, which was known as a specific lesion in POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein and skin changes), a variant of multicentric Castleman disease (MCD).
