Abstract

POEMS syndrome is a rare multisystemic syndrome characterized by polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes. We report a case of POEMS syndrome associated with unclassifiable myeloproliferative disorder presenting with polyneuropathy, hepatosplenomegaly, hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, monoclonal gammopathy, hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis, ascites, peripheral edema, and pulmonary hypertension.
