Overview

POEMS syndrome is rare disease associated with the presence of monoclonal gammopathy and polyneuropathy. Clinical symptoms are variable and may include organomegaly, endocrinopathy and skin changes among many. In this article, we present a recent overview of symptoms, diagnostic criteria and therapy of POEMS syndrome (2020).
