This case report details a 76-year-old patient diagnosed with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, a rare gastrointestinal disorder. Confirmation of the syndrome was achieved post-mortem, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Pathology

Background:

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare non-neoplastic disorder characterized by gastrointestinal polyposis, often presenting with diarrhea.
Diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity and nonspecific symptoms.

Observation:

A 76-year-old patient presented with diarrhea, prompting clinical, endoscopic, and histological investigations.
The initial data suggested Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, but definitive confirmation required necropsy.

Findings:

Necropsy confirmed the diagnosis of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome.
The case illustrates the patient's clinical course and the various treatment strategies attempted.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses like Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in patients with persistent gastrointestinal symptoms.
