Polyneuropathy Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal protein and Skin changes syndrome is a rare multisystem condition with a range of manifestations which are often overlooked as trivial comorbidities, until their whole triggers the possibility of the diagnosis. The diagnosis is typically delayed by 12–16 months, by which time patients can be severely disabled. There are no established consensus guidelines. We provide clinicians a comprehensive blueprint for managing POEMS from diagnostic suspicion through the work‐up, selection of therapy, follow‐up, and treatment of relapse based on published evidence and our large single‐center experience. A multidisciplinary approach is essential including expert hematologists, neurologists, histopathologists, radiologists, and neurophysiologists. The aim of treatment is to eradicate the underlying plasma cell dyscrasia, but there are limited trial data to guide treatment decisions. Supportive care considerations include management of endocrinopathy, neuropathy, thrombosis, and infection. Response assessment is centered on clinical, neuropathy, hematological, vascular endothelial growth factor, and radiological criteria. Future clinical trials are welcomed in this setting where evidence is limited.
