Abstract:
The authors reported a case of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome located in the right iliac bone by
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT. The authors summarized the diagnostic criteria and
18F-FDG PET/CT imaging manifestations of POEMS syndrome through literature review. Although
18F-FDG PET/CT in POEMS syndrome has been well reported, imaging manifestations involving only the right iliac bone are rare. Understanding the diagnostic criteria, clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of POEMS syndrome can help to obtain more information and make an accurate diagnosis.
