An unusual case of POEMS syndrome.

Abstract

We report a 48-year-old man, a farmer, presenting with chronic sensori-motor polyneuropathy. Electrophysiology revealed demyelinating type of neuropathy. Immunoelectrophoresis for monoclonal protein was negative; however, plasmacytoma was discovered on spine imaging. After receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy over past 9 months there has been a considerable improvement in patient's disability. This case highlights the role of skeletal survey in evaluation of chronic demyelinating neuropathy.
