Introduction: POEMS is a rare systemic disease. This syndrome is usually associated with multiple mylom and skin changes. By now, it has been reported two cases of this disease in Iran.
Case: The patient was a 53 years old male who had history of hospitalization for recurrent pulmonary infections. Additionally, he had history of hyperthyroidism and idoide treatment. In the last presentation, he was hospitalized because of low back pain. Bone marrow aspiration findings showed that the cause of low back pain is multiple mylom. In abdominal computed tomagraphy, splenomegaly was cleared that all of these systemic findings are representatives of multiple mylom and POEMS syndrome.
Conclusion: In this study a POEMS syndrome patient that suffering from hyperthyroidism was introduced.
