Abstract

Due to its unique clinical, immunological and molecular genetic characteristics, biclonal lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM) with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is extremely rare in clinical practice, and there is no standard treatment for patients afflicted with this condition. In the present case report, a rare case of double LPL/WM with POEMS syndrome is described. The patient, a 65‑year‑old male, exhibited significant renal impairment and polylymphadenopathy. The patient was treated with rituximab and his symptoms were resolved following two courses of treatment. A review of the literature was performed, comparing the present case with previous cases. It is hoped that this case report will enable clinicians to gain a better understanding of this disease.
