Abstract
POEMS syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes. We report the first case of spontaneous recovery of adrenal insufficiency in a patient with POEMS syndrome treated with autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation. We conclude that in patients with POEMS syndrome, adrenal insufficiency should be regularly assessed for potential recovery.Entities:
