Case Report: POEMS syndrome secondary to multiple solitary plasmacytomas complicated by hypertriglyceridemia

This case illustrates that POEMS syndrome should be considered even when serum and bone marrow studies do not show monoclonal protein, particularly in the presence of severe hypertriglyceridemia and multisystem injury. Awareness of such atypical presentations is essential to prevent diagnostic delay and to ensure timely initiation of appropriate therapy.

Abstract

This case illustrates that POEMS syndrome should be considered even when serum and bone marrow studies do not show monoclonal protein, particularly in the presence of severe hypertriglyceridemia and multisystem injury. Awareness of such atypical presentations is essential to prevent diagnostic delay and to ensure timely initiation of appropriate therapy.
