Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is one of the rare causes of multiple polyposis, characterised by generalised gastrointestinal polyposis, cutaneous hyperpigmentation, alopecia, and nail dystrophy.' Although Cronkhite and Canada described it for the first time in 1955, little is known about its aetiology and the prognosis remains poor. We describe a case of CronkhiteCanada syndrome in a 79-year-old Ja...

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is a rare syndrome consisting of extensive gastrointestinal polyposis and ectodermal changes including cutaneous hyperpigmentation, alopecia, and onychodystrophy. We report the case of a 45-year-old Caucasian male patient who failed multiple treatments over 2 years including steroids, azathioprine, adalimumab, and cyclosporine.

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is an extremely rare condition of gastrointestinal polyposis in which the main presenting features are diarrhoea and dysgeusia. The polyps in this condition are characteristically distributed throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract except the oesophagus, and these patients exhibit unique ectodermal abnormalities. Herein, we report a 50-year-old male who had recurr...

We relate the first case in the Republic of Ireland of Cronkhite Canada Syndrome (CCS). The patient presented with weight loss, alopecia, nail dystrophy, taste disturbance and classic radiologic and endoscopic features of CCS. She continued to dramatically lose weight and early repeat colonoscopy showed the interim development of an invasive sigmoid adenocarcinoma.J
