Abstract

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare, non-inherited gastrointestinal polyposis syndrome characterized by diffuse hamartomatous polyps and ectodermal changes. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman presenting with chronic diarrhea, loss of taste, nail dystrophy, and alopecia, subsequently diagnosed with CCS. Early recognition and immunosuppressive therapy led to clinical and biochemical improvement.
