Abstract
POEMS syndrome [plasma cell dyscrasia with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal (M) protein, skin changes] although mimicking the connective tissue diseases in several ways has not been reported in a patient who also meets criteria for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We describe a patient with POEMS syndrome and SLE and review the similarities and differences between POEMS syndrome and other connective tissue disorders.
