Cronkhite-Canada syndrome
(
CCS
) associated with
myelodysplastic syndrome
(
MDS
). A 54-year-old woman, diagnosed as
MDS
the prior year after evaluation of anemia, visited our hospital with the chief complaint of epigastric discomfort. She also had dysgeusia, alopecia, atrophic nail change, and pigmentation of the palm, all of which began several months ago. Blood tests revealed severe hypoalbuminemia. Colonoscopy (CS) showed numerous, dense, red polyps throughout the colon and rectum. Biopsy specimens showed stromal edema, infiltration of lymphocytes, and cystic dilatation of the crypt. Her clinical manifestations and histology were consistent with
CCS

CCS
in a patient with
MDS
