Cronkhite–Canada syndrome: report of a rare case and review of the literature

Abstract

Cronkhite–Canada syndrome is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Notably, most patients with Cronkhite–Canada syndrome exhibit hypoalbuminemia. Because the cause of Cronkhite–Canada syndrome is unknown, no specific treatment method has been established. Here, we describe a 59-year-old woman with Cronkhite–Canada syndrome in whom clinical manifestations were considerably relieved after treatment with prednisone.
