POEMS Syndrome: Presented as Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease of Plasma Cell Variant for Eight Years and Dramatic Treatment with Siltuximab Followed by Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
Background: POEMS syndrome (POEMS) is a rare plasma cell clonal paraneoplastic syndrome consisting of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes presenting with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) histology, the treatment of which has not yet been...

description | Background: POEMS syndrome (POEMS) is a rare plasma cell clonal paraneoplastic syndrome consisting of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes presenting with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) histology, the treatment of which has not yet been well established. iMCD is also a distinctive rare non-clonal lymphoproliferative disorder, of which dramatic response to Siltuximab, a monoclonal anti-IL-6 antibody, has been reported recently. Methods: the differential diagnosis between POEMS and iMCD can be very challenging because of the identical histology, overlapping similar symptoms such as polyneuropathy, and vital signs insidiously presented to diagnose POEMS. Results: here, we report the case of a 53-year-old man with iMCD treated for 8 years developing sequential polyneuropathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and bone lytic lesions, all of which were confirmed after his iMCD achieved complete remission resulting from siltuximab administration and finally confirmed as POEMS. Conclusions: we describe the clinical ambiguity of disease presenting that we can face in the real world between iMCD and POEMS and emphasise careful, enduring observation lasting several years. |
