Popis: The histology of skin lesions of TAFRO (thrombocytopenia, anasarca, reticulin fibrosis/renal failure, and organomegaly) syndrome has rarely been reported. We report herein two cases of TAFRO syndrome with characteristic vascular skin lesions. The lesions resembled a tufted angioma, although those of case 1 partially resembled a glomeruloid hemangioma, which was known as a specific lesion in POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein and skin changes), a variant of multicentric Castleman disease (MCD). The high titer of serum vascular endothelial growth factor and interleukin-6 could explain common characteristic vascular lesions in both TAFRO syndrome and POEMS syndrome/MCD.
