    Author: Ong S, Rodriguez-Garcia C, Grabczynska S, Carton J, Osborn M, Walters J, Kubba F, Stefanato CM.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 2017 Aug; 177(2):531-534. PubMed ID: 28029683.
    Abstract:
    Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is an acquired inflammatory polyposis syndrome in which alopecia, onychomadesis and hyperpigmentation occur concurrently with gastrointestinal symptoms. The pathophysiology of alopecia in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome has not been definitively elucidated. We present evidence for alopecia areata incognita as a possible mechanism of hair loss.
