Abstract


Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is common amongst the various rheumatological conditions noted in clinical
practice. But rarer entities like Cronkhite-Canada syndrome are reported very rarely in literature specially from the Indian
subcontinent. Hence the knowledge available of such rare conditions are also sparse. This is an extremely rare case of a combination of these two
conditions which may help researches provide some insight into the disease processes of this condition.
