Clinical and Endoscopic Remission in a Patient With Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome

A 60-year-old man presented with chronic diarrhea for 9 months, anorexia, a 6-kg weight loss, and dysgeusia. He had hyperpigmentation of his face, hands (Figure A), and feet; alopecia; and nail dystrophy (Figure A). An esophagogastroduodenoscopy and a colonoscopy showed multiple polyps carpeting the stomach, duodenum, ileum, and the colon (Figure B). Histology showed cystically dilated glands and mixed inflammatory infiltrate comprising eosinophils and neutrophils. Cronkhite–Canada syndrome was diagnosed on the basis of clinical and pathologic findings.
