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.

Because vascular lesions may appear before the full-blown POEMS syndrome develops, we suggest careful evaluation and follow-up of all patients presenting with glomeruloid hemangioma or cherry-type capillary hemangioma with focal glomeruloid features for potential development of this syndrome.
