To report a rare case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) associated with sigmoid colon cancer and early esophageal cancer.
Key Findings:
CCS was diagnosed simultaneously with sigmoid colon cancer and early esophageal cancer.
Postoperative symptoms such as diarrhea, hair loss, and malnutrition improved.
Gastric-duodenal and colonic polyp-like lesions were reduced after treatment.
Interpretation:
This case highlights the rarity of simultaneous occurrence of colon and early esophageal cancers in patients with CCS and emphasizes the importance of understanding the disease for better management.
Limitations:
The case is based on a single patient, limiting generalizability.
Long-term outcomes of untreated early esophageal cancer are not well-documented.
Conclusion:
The report aims to enhance understanding of CCS and its associated cancers, advocating for improved diagnosis and treatment strategies.
