Presentation
Although they are present in only 3% of cases, glomeruloid hemangiomas are strongly associated with POEMS syndrome and, when present, contribute to reaching an early diagnosis. The present paper reports on two cases of POEMS syndrome. [scielo.br]
The present paper reports on two cases of glomeruloid hemangiomas associated with POEMS syndrome, and includes a review of the literature. [scienceopen.com]

Immune System
- Splenomegaly
Tomography of the chest and abdomen showed paratracheal, precarinal and subcarinal lymphadenopathy, a small bilateral pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, mild ascites, splenomegaly and small retroperitoneal lymph nodes. [scielo.br]
Entire Body System
- Plethora
The most common are diffuse cutaneous hyperpigmentation, acrocyanosis and plethora. [scielo.br]
- Galactorrhea
[…] investigators, the most frequent manifestations being diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism. 10,11 Other endocrine abnormalities reported consist of alterations in the gonadal axis, alterations in the adrenal axis, hyperprolactinemia, gynecomastia or galactorrhea [scielo.br]
- Weight Loss
TNF-α is associated with demyelinating peripheral neuropathy, hepatosplenomegaly, endocrine dysfunction, edema, weight loss, hypertriglyceridemia and diarrhea. [scielo.br]
Cardiovascular
- Hypertension
[…] sclerodermiform type on the hands and feet has also been reported in association with other symptoms such as Raynaud's phenomenon and sicca syndrome. 14 Leukonychia is a very rare manifestation that occurs simultaneously with finger clubbing in pulmonary hypertension [scielo.br]
Skin
- Skin Thickening
Other manifestations include thickening of the skin (of the sclerodermiform type), hypertrichosis, necrotizing vasculitis, hyperhidrosis and leukonychia, in addition to calciphylaxis and cicatricial alopecia. [scielo.br]
- Alopecia
The cicatricial alopecia was of the secondary type, since it developed in an area adjacent to an osteosclerotic lesion on the cranium. [scielo.br]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
We therefore suggest that every histopathology report of glomeruloid hemangioma be issued with an accompanying note recommending investigation for POEMS syndrome and Castleman's disease. [scielo.br]

Neurologic
- Paresthesia
Neuropathy is characterized by being of the thick-fiber, sensorimotor type with a demyelinating pattern that initially manifests itself as a distal symmetric sensory alteration, with paresthesia and sensations of pins and needles and cold, followed by [scielo.br]
- Hyporeflexia
Neurological examination revealed generalized deep hyporeflexia, with tonus and muscle strength preserved; superficial distal hypoesthesia in the feet and distal pallanesthesia in all four limbs. [scielo.br]
Workup
X-Ray
- Pericardial Effusion
Tomography of the chest and abdomen showed paratracheal, precarinal and subcarinal lymphadenopathy, a small bilateral pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, mild ascites, splenomegaly and small retroperitoneal lymph nodes. [scielo.br]
Serum
- Hyperprolactinemia
[…] findings have also been reported by other investigators, the most frequent manifestations being diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism. 10,11 Other endocrine abnormalities reported consist of alterations in the gonadal axis, alterations in the adrenal axis, hyperprolactinemia [scielo.br]
- Thrombocytosis
IL-6 is related to plasma cell proliferation and monoclonal gammopathy, thrombocytosis, Castleman's disease, hemangiomas and microangiopathic glomerulopathy. 16 Serum IL-6 levels in 6 patients with active POEMS syndrome were shown to be higher than those [scielo.br]
