    Author: Giglia F, Chiapparini L, Fariselli L, Barbui T, Ciano C, Scarlato M, Pareyson D.
    Journal: Neuromuscul Disord; 2007 Dec; 17(11-12):980-2. PubMed ID: 17611108.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient with POEMS syndrome (Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal gammopathy, Skin changes) treated with high dose chemotherapy and auto-Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (auto-PBSCT) who had a very good response with complete clinical remission. Seven years later, she relapsed and a new sclerotic bone lesion was found. To our knowledge, this is the first POEMS syndrome relapse after successful auto-PBSCT.
