Cronkhite-Canada syndrome. Case report.
Cancer 1977 June
The case report of a 72-year-old man with the characteristic clinical and pathologic-anatomic picture of the Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is presented. The clinical features and the radiographic appearance of the gastrointestinal tract suggested Ménétrier's disease. Subtotal gastrectomy was performed and at the subsequent pathologic-anatomic examination, the diagnosis of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome was made. The patient slowly recovered over the following five months while being treated with the so-called astronaut diet (Vivasorb) supplemented with vitamins, iron and electrolytes. He died five months after surgery from intercurrent disease. The differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal polyposis with or without mucocutaneous pigmentation is briefly discussed. The histochemical characteristics of the epithelium in the gastric and colonic polyps was studied in some detail. The authors believe that the gastrointestinal polyps in the Cronkhite-Canada syndrome are regenerative and non-neoplastic in nature.
