    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Oncology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an inherited disorder characterized by hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and mucocutaneous pigmentation.
    • It significantly increases the risk of various cancers, including gastrointestinal, breast, ovarian, and pancreatic malignancies.

    Observation:

    • A case of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in a 36-year-old woman is presented.
    • The patient exhibited a rare combination of findings: sex cord tumor with annular tubules of Scully, mucinous metaplasia of tubal epithelium, and adenocarcinoma of the endocervix.

    Findings:

    • The co-occurrence of mucinous metaplasia of tubal epithelium and endocervical adenocarcinoma with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is novel.
    • These findings suggest a potential, previously undescribed association between the syndrome and specific gynecological pathologies.

    Implications:

    • This case broadens the spectrum of known Peutz-Jeghers syndrome manifestations.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the potential link between Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and these gynecological findings, aiding in risk assessment and management.
