We describe here the case of a 60 years man with POEMS syndrome associated with renal tumor and vascular lesions. The patient had osteosclerotic myeloma IgA-lambda, polyneuropathy, endocrinopathy and skin changes. In addition, he developed renal clear cell carcinoma and gangrena of lower limbs. The humoral study showed thrombocytosis, high levels of IL-1beta and IL-6 and of some coagulative/fibrinolytic and endothelial factors (von Willebrand factor, plasmin-antiplasmine complexes, plasminogen activator). We suggest the hypothesis that these factors are capable of determining some manifestations of POEMS syndrome.
