C Crisci1, F Barbieri, D Parente, N Pappone, G Caruso.   

Abstract

We report here the case of a 20-year-old man with POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M proteins, skin changes). This rare syndrome followed a 3-year history of a syndrome that mimics a chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Treatment with cyclophosphamide induced regression of the syndrome and improved peripheral nerve conduction.
