Cronkhite-Canada syndrome: report of a case with bacteriologic, immunologic, and electron microscopic studies
Abstract:
A case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is presented. The patient developed protein-losing enteropathy, generalized gastrointestional polyposis, skin pigmentation, onychodystrophy, and alopecia. This patient also exhibited certain unusual features such as: fluctuating dermal manifestations, sclerodermalike skin changes, elevated levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, retinal detachment, cataracts, and cerebellar atrophy. Bacteriologic studies of small intestinal fluid, chromosomal analysis, immunologic investigations, and morphologic studies failed to provide any etiologic clues.
