    Author: Kim JW, Lee SK, Ha KM, Kim KH, Joh GY, Kim HJ, Yang SO, Hong SH.
    Journal: J Korean Med Sci; 1992 Mar; 7(1):79-84. PubMed ID: 1418769.
    Abstract:
    POEMS syndrome is a multisystem disorder associated with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, a monoclonal protein (M-protein), and skin changes. The authors describe a patient with POEMS syndrome who had osteosclerotic myeloma confirmed by open bone biopsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed discrete lesions of low signal intensity in both T1 and T2-weighted images. This patient is now being successfully treated with melphalan and prednisone with much improvement in skin thickening and sensory change in the lower extremities.
