17 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is a rare plasma cell dyscrasia characterized by polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, extravascular fluid overload, M protein, and a myriad of skin changes. The pathogenesis is poorly understood, but monoclonal plasma cells are λ-restricted and these immunoglobulin λ light chain variable (IGLV) region genes are...
