POEMS syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that is caused by an underlying plasma cell disorder. The diagnosis of POEMS syndrome: The two mandatory criteria PLUS = 1 major AND = 1 minor criterion. The treatment of POEMS syndrome depends on the treatment of the underlying plasma cell disorder.
