Abstract
This case highlights the tendency towards confirmation bias in patients with a new diagnosis of a rare disease, our patient’s signs and symptoms that arose from Scleroderma and its treatment obscured her presentation with POEMS syndrome.
POEMS syndrome is a rare cause of low-SAAG ascites
Consider POEMS in any patient signs and symptoms of polyneuropathy and monoclonal gammopathy
