Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Genetics
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an inherited disorder.
  • Characterized by hamartomatous polyps and mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation.
  • PJS significantly increases cancer risk.

Purpose:

  • To present findings from 16 Peutz-Jeghers syndrome cases.
  • To highlight common clinical presentations and polyp characteristics.
  • To emphasize the importance of long-term surveillance and management.

Summary:

  • This study analyzed 16 Peutz-Jeghers syndrome cases, noting a higher prevalence in females.
  • Gastrointestinal complaints were most common, with hamartomatous polyps distributed throughout the GI tract.
  • Endoscopic polypectomy is recommended for treatment, alongside regular radiologic, endoscopic, and histologic follow-up due to malignancy risk.
