    Abstract:
    TAFRO syndrome and POEMS syndrome are lymphoproliferative disorders with elevated interleukin-6 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels; however, their underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Similarities have been reported in the pathological findings of the lymph nodes of TAFRO syndrome, Multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), and some cases of POEMS syndrome. However, there is no consensus on the relationship among them. We encountered a case of lymphoproliferative disorder that presented with manifestations of both TAFRO syndrome and POEMS syndrome. This case may be a subtype of idiopathic MCD and will be very important for establishing the disease concept of TAFRO syndrome and POEMS syndrome.
