[Pulmonary tumorlets in POEMS syndrome].
POEMS syndrome is a systemic disease characterized by severe chronic polyneuropathy, organomegaly (adenopathy, and liver enlargement) endocrinopathy, monoclonal peak, sclerotic bone lesions and skin changes. We report on a case of complete POEMS syndrome with peripheral arterial thrombosis and multiple lung tumorlets. No antibodies were found against human nervous tissues or Rhesus monkey on patient serum. This case is the first association described of POEMS syndrome and lung tumorlets.
