    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Genetics
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder.
    • Characterized by hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and mucocutaneous pigmentation.
    • Increased risk of various cancers.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome presenting with polyps in the gallbladder is described.
    • This finding has not been previously reported in existing literature.
    • The gallbladder was identified as a novel site for polyposis in this condition.

    Findings:

    • The presence of gallbladder polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a new observation.
    • Review of literature confirms known sites of polyposis but not the gallbladder.
    • This expands the spectrum of gastrointestinal manifestations.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for expanded surveillance protocols in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
    • Suggests the gallbladder as a potential site for neoplastic transformation in PJS.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the pathogenesis and clinical significance of gallbladder polyps in PJS.
