Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2018, Vol 74, Issue 2
Abstract
Cronkhite–Canada syndrome (CCS) is rare non-familial disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by gastrointestinal cystic polyposis and ectodermal manifestations. Less than 500 cases have been reported in the world literature so far, and most of these cases were reported from Japan.1–3 Only a handful of cases of CCS have been reported in this part of the world.3–5 Here, we describe the clinical features and panendoscopic findings of a patient with CCS.
