This study details eight Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) cases, highlighting mucocutaneous pigmentation and hamartomatous polyps. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for PJS patients, who remain alive post-intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Genetics

Context:

  • Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder.
  • Characterized by hamartomatous polyps and mucocutaneous pigmentation.
  • Associated with an increased risk of various cancers.

Purpose:

  • To describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of eight PJS patients.
  • To identify associated diseases and complications in these patients.
  • To review the literature on Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Summary:

  • Eight PJS patients (5 female, 3 male) diagnosed around age 31 presented with characteristic features.
  • Common sites for hamartomatous polyps were the ileum and large bowel.
  • Abdominal pain, GI bleeding, and obstruction were frequent symptoms; one patient developed small-bowel cancer.
