Overview

POEMS syndrome must be differentiated from other similar conditions which lead to multiple endocrine disorders such as autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome, Hirata syndrome, Kearns–Sayre syndrome and Wolfram syndromes.

Differentiating POEMS Syndrome From Other Diseases

The table below summarizes how to differentiate POEMS syndrome from other conditions that have a similar presentation:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Organ System Involvement Differential Diagnosis Causes Features Therapy
P = Polyneuropathy POEMS syndrome
  • Monoclonal plasma cell proliferation
  • Cytokine storm (IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, TNF alpha, VEGF)
Metabolic Syndrome
  • Diabetes mellitus
Vitamin Deficiencies
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency
  • Vitamin B1 deficiency
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
  • Viral infections:
    • Epstein Barr virus
    • HIV

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
Environmental Toxicity
Organ System Involvement Differential Diagnosis Causes Features Therapy
O = Organomegaly (Hepatosplenomegaly and Lymphadenopathy) POEMS syndrome
  • Monoclonal plasma cell proliferation
  • Cytokine storm (IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, TNF alpha, VEGF)
Malaria
Kala-azar
Infective Hepatitis
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)
Lymphoma

  • Congenital hypothyroidism
  • Autoimmune (Hashimoto's) thyroiditis
  • Resistance to TSH
Secondary Hypothyroidism
  • Pituitary mass lesions, especially pituitary adenomas
  • Brain cysts and abscesses
  • Meningiomas
  • Dysgerminomas
  • Metastatic tumors
  • Craniopharyngiomas
  • Pituitary apoplexy

  • Idiopathic isolated TRH deficiency
Hypopituitarism
Organ System Involvement Differential Diagnosis Causes Features Therapy
M = M-protein ( Hematological Abnormality/Plasma Cell Dyscrasias) POEMS Syndrome
  • Monoclonal plasma cell proliferation
  • Cytokine storm (IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, TNF alpha, VEGF)
Multiple myeloma
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) Observation
Asymptomatic Plasma Cell Myeloma

(Smoldering and Indolent plasma cell myeloma)

Observation
Plasma Cell Leukemia Chemotherapy
Plasmacytoma Surgery
Bone Lesions Osteoporosis
Osteomalacia
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Skin Changes Scurvy
Homocystinuria

Other Differentials

POEMS syndrome must also be differentiated from other similar conditions which lead to multiple endocrine disorders such as autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome, Hirata syndrome, Kearns–Sayre syndrome and Wolfram syndromes.[8][9][10][11][12]

Disease Addison's disease Type 1 diabetes mellitus Hypothyroidism Other disorders present
POEMS syndrome + Less common Less common Hypoparathyroidism
Candidiasis
Hypogonadism
APS type 2 + + + Hypogonadism
Malabsorption
APS type 3 - + + Malabsorption
Thymoma + - + Myasthenia gravis
Cushing syndrome
Chromosomal abnormalities
(Turner syndrome,
Down's syndrome)
- + + Cardiac dysfunction
Kearns–Sayre syndrome - + - Myopathy
