Diagnosis is by clinical syndrome with major and minor criteria that include polyradiculoneuropathy, clonal plasma cell disorder, sclerotic bone lesions, organomegaly, extravascular volume overload, endocrinopathy, and hematologic changes.1 Presented below is a case of POEMS presenting as volume overload and hypoxia originally misclassified as heart failure. CASE PRESENTATION: A 78-year-old woman presented to the hospital with 2 weeks of worsening shortness of breath and fatigue in the setting of 8 months of progressing leg and belly swelling. She had a history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, neuropathy, and monoclonal gammopathy. She originally presented to her PCP 8 months prior for the leg swelling. After basic work up she was diagnosed with heart failure and started on diuretics, but despite increasing doses her volume overload progressed. She developed significant shortness of breath and presented to an outside hospital where she was treated with diuretics and discharged to a rehab facility. When the fluid quickly came back and she became short of breath she presented to our hospital.On admission she was anasarcic and in respiratory distress with hypoxia requiring 2 liters oxygen. Chest x ray showed bilateral pleural effusions. She was diagnosed with a heart failure exacerbation and started on IV diuretics. Given her effusions and hypoxia pulmonary was consulted for thoracentesis.Several components of her work up were atypical. Further history revealed her neuropathy preceded diabetes by 10 years. Her admission labs showed anemia, elevated monocytes, and subclinical hypothyroidism. Her echo showed a moderate pericardial effusion and only mild diastolic dysfunction. POEMS was suspected as a possible cause.Her work up was broadened and revealed a kappa gammaglobulinemia. Thoracentesis showed an exudative effusion without malignant cells. Chest CT showed residual effusions and dependent atelectasis without other abnormalities. Flow cytometry confirmed MGUS, and bone marrow biopsy was normal. VEGF level was 93. Skeletal survey showed a sclerotic lesion of the ileum. Other work up for infection, amyloid, and malignancy were negative. DISCUSSION: Our patient was diagnosed with POEMS and continued on supportive care. She had PFTs showing restrictive lung disease, and right heart cath was normal. She was discharged with pulmonary and oncology follow up. CONCLUSIONS: POEMS is a rare syndrome thought secondary to plasma cell neoplasia with multiple organ involvement. Common pulmonary manifestations are pleural effusions, pulmonary hypertension, and restrictive lung disease. Our patient presented with effusions and hypoxia originally misdiagnosed as heart failure. Careful history and recognition of abnormalities on routine blood work led to the appropriate work up and diagnosis. Reference #1: 1. Dispenzieri A.
