Abstract:
Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is an infrequent, nonadenomatous, acquired polyposis that is associated with ectodermic alterations. The etiopathogenesis and optimal therapeutic management are unknown. We present a case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in a 58-year-old man who, after combined treatment with corticosteroids, disodium cromoglycate, loratadine, ciprofloxacin, and zinc, showed complete clinical and partial endoscopic remission. The polypoid lesions of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome can be reversed with medical treatment. Consequently, the natural history of the disease can be modified and its prognosis improved.
