Sammanfattning

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an inherited, autosomal dominant disorder characterised by haematomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and mucocutaneus hyperpigmentation. A girl 15 years of age presented with microcytic, hypochrome anaemia. Endoscopy revealed several polyps in the stomach and colon. The patient was later operated due to an intussusception from polyps in the jejunum. Histology proved the polyps to be haematomatous as seen in PJS. Patients with PJS have an increased risk of developing both gastrointestinal and extra-gastrointestinal cancers. Screening recommendation for PJS is outlined.
