Abstract
An elderly man with non-familial gastrointestinal polyposis, malabsorption and progressive hypoproteinemia is reported. Associated alopecia, cutaneous hyperpigmentation and nail dystrophy with loss of nails were consistent with the diagnosis of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome. Hypothyroidism was present in this patient and the rare association of these two conditions is discussed.
