INTRODUCTION A hamartomatous polyp without associated mucocutaneous pigmentation or a family history of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome is diagnosed as a solitary Peutz-Jeghers type hamartomatous polyp. As compared with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers type hamartomatous polyps are diagnosed with a lower risk of cancer and are regarded as a different disorder. CASE PRESENTATION In case one, we de...
INTRODUCTION Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance and variable expression caused by germline mutation of serine threonine kinase 11/liver kinase B1; it is characterized by hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, mucocutaneous melanin pigmentation, and increased predisposition to neoplasms. In Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, bilateral Sertoli cel...
EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS Since interest was first aroused in the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome there have been conflicting views as to the frequency with which malignant change occurs in the polyps found in the small intestine, and this has been due to the difficulty of interpreting the histological structure of the polypi. Many now feel that in this syndrome these lesions are hamartomas and that the appare...
a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. The patient had experienced abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. In the 2 months prior to admission, he had been admitted and treated for acute pancreatitis twice in another hospital. He had no history of alcohol intake or habitual drug use. The physical examination was unremarkable except for epigastric tenderness, but his amylase level was markedly raised (...
Laugier-Hunziker syndrome (LHS) is a rare sporadic disorder, which shares some dermatological features with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). However, whereas PJS is associated with hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyposis and carries a high risk of malignancy justifying intensive screening protocols, LHS is known to be an entirely benign disease with no systemic manifestations, which requires pati...
We report a 32-year-old who lady when presented with anemia and was detected to have Peutz-Jegher syndrome. She had malignancies of the colon and ovary over a 2-year follow up and was successfully managed. On screening the family two more members were confirmed to have Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and have been put on surveillance.
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited pathology characterized by gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps, predominantly in the small bowel, and pigmented mucocutaneous lesions. Guidelines suggest polypectomy with a balloon-assisted enteroscope when polyps are larger than 10mm. Complications in adults can be as high as 6.8%, but there is little information...
Hamartomatous polyps of Peutz-Jeghers are mostly found in patients affected by Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), but they can be rarely encountered in the general population. It is unclear whether a solitary Peutz-Jeghers polyp (PJP) is an incomplete form of PJS or a separate entity. We report a case of solitary PJP in a paediatric patient in whom the other features of PJS were absent. The patient ...
