Cronkhite-Canada syndrome: radiologic features.
We report 6 cases of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, analyze the patterns of involvement, and review the literature on this entity. There were 4 women and 2 men, with an average age of 58 years. The stomach was diseased diffusely in 5 and focally (distally) in 1. Small bowel polyps were detected in 4 patients. Patterns of involvement were classified as (a) innumerable small polyps carpeting large areas, (b) scattered varying-size polyps, and (c) sparse involvement with few small polyps. There was concordance of patterns between the stomach and colon in 5 of the 6 patients.
