Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome (CCS) is a syndrome
characterised by a constellation of signs including but not
limited to onychodystrophy of the finger and toe nails, skin
hyperpigmentation and alopecia. Endoscopic features
showed hamartomatous polyps involving all segments of
the gastrointestinal tract with the characteristic exception of
being oesophageal sparring. These polyps show
confirmation by the presence of eosinophils and mast cells
at the lamina propria upon histological studies.
