Core Tip

Core Tip: The case report is a rare and complex case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) with pulmonary embolism. We completely recorded the whole process of the occurrence and development of the CCS and carried out follow-up observation. Without hormone treatment, the disease was cured through routine treatment. Patients with CCS have a higher risk of developing venous thromboembolism. We put forward a new view that patients with CCS should focus on preventing the occurrence of venous thromboembolism.
