Background:

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant disorder.
PJS is characterized by hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and mucocutaneous pigmentation.
The syndrome increases the risk of various cancers.

Observation:

A case of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome with a novel presentation of conjunctival pigmentation is described.
Conjunctival pigmentation, a previously unrecorded finding in PJS, was observed in the affected individual.
This finding expands the recognized clinical manifestations of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Findings:

The study presents a detailed case report of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
Conjunctival pigmentation is identified as a new clinical sign associated with PJS.

Management strategies for Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are reviewed in light of this case.

Implications:

The identification of conjunctival pigmentation broadens the diagnostic criteria for Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
Ophthalmological examination may be beneficial in the diagnosis and management of PJS.
Further research is warranted to understand the mechanism and significance of conjunctival pigmentation in PJS.
