Laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for Peutz-Jeghers syndrome with synchronous rectal cancer

We report on a patient diagnosed with PeutzJeghers syndrome(PJS) with synchronous rectal cancer who was treated with laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis(IPAA). PJS is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by multiple hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, mucocutaneous pigmentation, and increased risks of gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal cancer. This report presents a patient with a 20-year history of intermittent bloody stool, mucocutaneous pigmentation and a family history of PJS, which together led to a diagnosis of PJS. Moreover, colonoscopy and biopsy revealed the presence of multiple serried giant pedunculated polyps and rectal adenocarcinoma. Currently, few options exist for the therapeutic management of PJS with synchronous rectal cancer. For this case, we adopted an unconventional surgical strategy and ultimately performed laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA. This procedure is widely considered to be the first-line treatment option for patients with ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis. However, there are no previous reports of treating PJS patients with laparoscopic IPAA. Since the operation, the patient has experienced no further episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding and has demonstrated satisfactory bowel control. Laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy with IPAA may be a safe and effective treatment for patients with PJS with synchronous rectal cancer.     

Peutz-Jeghers综合征预防性治疗的研究

Peutz-Jeghers综合征(PJS)又称黑斑息肉病,以皮肤黏膜色素斑、消化道错构瘤息肉和遗传性为临床特征。PJS消化道息肉可产生梗阻、出血、套叠、恶变等严重并发症;目前其临床治疗以手术和内镜治疗为主,都是局部、被动的治疗手段,而无法达到预防息肉发生发展的作用。随着针对PJS的转化医学的进步,针对细胞信号通路及其关键酶的分子靶向药物使PJS消化道息肉的预防性治疗成为可能,其代表是环氧合酶-2的选择性抑制剂和哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白抑制剂。而以"济生乌梅丸"为代表的中药也为PJS息肉的预防性治疗提供另一个选择。本文总结近年来国内外学者在PJS研究中所取得的共识与进展的基础上,结合自身临床诊治经验,提出了中西医结合预防性治疗PJS胃肠道息肉的思路和方法。以提高临床医生对PJS胃肠道息肉的诊治能力,从而使PJS患者能得到最大的临床获益。     

Peutz–Jeghers syndrome: case reports and update on diagnosis and treatment

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the etiology and diagnostic methods of Peutz–Jeghers syndrome (PJS) and thus establish a treatment strategy. METHODS: Clinical data from six patients with PJS were evaluated from the aspect of familial history, carcinogenesis and recurrence of polyps. RESULTS: The fathers of four and the mother of one of the six patients had PJS. The grandfather of three of the six patients had PJS. There was a history of cancer in three of the five families. Case 4 underwent two laparotomies for intussusceptions caused by recurrent polyps of the small intestine. Case 5 also had recurrent small intestinal polyps and required a laparotomy after 1 year of initial treatment. Polyps in cases 1 and 4 showed adenomatous changes and those in case 2 were associated with gastric cancer. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with PJS have a strong family history of cancer and a high incidence of recurrence of small intestinal polyps. Malignant changes of polyps may follow the hamartoma–adenoma–carcinoma sequence. Careful follow‐up is mandatory for gastrointestinal tract symptoms, and other solid organs that are susceptible to malignant change.

A De Novo Mutation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">STK11</Emphasis> Gene in a Chinese Patient with Peutz–Jeghers Syndrome

Peutz–Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal-dominant inherited disorder characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentation, hamartomatous polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract, and an increased risk for the development of both gastrointestinal and extraintestinal malignancies. Germline mutation of the STK11 gene, which encodes a serine-threonine kinase, is responsible for PJS. We collected blood samples from a Chinese PJS family consisting of a total of four individuals (one male and three females) including one PJS patient. The whole coding region of STK11 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and products analyzed by direct sequencing. Molecular analysis of the STK11 gene in this case of PJS revealed a substitution of thymine 217 for adenine (C.217T > A) in exon 1, resulting in a change of codon 73 from cysteine to serine (C73S). The point mutation was not found in normal individuals in this PJS family or in 100 control individuals. The results presented here enlarge the spectrum of mutations of the STK11 gene by identifying a de novo mutation in a PJS patient and further support the hypothesis that STK11 mutations are disease-causing mutations for PJS.     

Solitary Peutz-Jeghers-type appendiceal hamartomatous polyp growing into the terminal ileum

Solitary Peutz-Jeghers type hamartomatous polyp is rare.It is considered to be related to a variant PeutzJeghers syndrome(PJS)and may be a separate disease entity.A 50-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of intussusception in the terminal ileum and underwent segmental ileal resection with appendectomy.We identified a 3.5-cm diameter polyp arising from the appendix with ingrowth into the terminal ileum.The polyp was confirmed to be a hamartomatous polyp of Peutz-Jeghers-type,histologically.However,the patient had no characteristic manifestations of PJS such as mucocutaneous pigmentation and family history.There are few reports of appendiceal hamartomatous polyp in PJS patients and solitary appendiceal hamartomatous polyp is even rarer.Also,rather than telescoping,ours is the first reported intussuscepted lesion,to the best of our knowledge.     

我国Peutz-Jeghers综合征患者合并恶性肿瘤的临床分析

背景：Peutz-Jeghers综合征（PJS）为一种常染色体显性疾病,可合并多种恶性肿瘤,但肿瘤风险仍未阐明。目的：总结我国PJS患者合并恶性肿瘤的临床特征。方法：以黑斑息肉、Peutz-Jeghers为关键词在万方和中国知网两个数据库中检索1979年1月～2008年10月发表的有关PJS的271篇文献,对合并恶性肿瘤患者的临床特征进行分析。结果：共纳入PJS患者1504例,其中207例（13．8％）合并恶性肿瘤,男女比例约1：1．05。PJS合并的恶性肿瘤中,以消化系肿瘤和妇女相关肿瘤最为常见,分别为155例（74．9％）和24例（11．6％）。PJS患者发生恶性肿瘤频率最高的年龄段为31～50岁,13～50岁PJS患者合并恶性肿瘤的频率达90．9％。PJS合并恶性肿瘤的发生率明显高于普通人群。结论：PJS患者合并恶性肿瘤的发生率明显增高,应积极处理胃肠道息肉和筛查全身肿瘤。     

Course and follow-up of solitary Peutz-Jeghers polyps: a case series

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare, autosomal-dominant disease characterized by hamartomatous polyps of the alimentary tract, hyperpigmentation of the skin, and family history of PJS. Rarely, solitary Peutz-Jeghers polyps (PJP) arise in patients without other features of PJS. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We reviewed eight patients since 1979 with solitary PJP, six men and two women. RESULTS: The average age at diagnosis was higher (56+/-13 years) than that of PJS patients in the literature. Polyps were found in the sigmoid colon ( n=4), cecum ( n=1), stomach ( n=1), and duodenum ( n=2). The colonic polyps were diagnosed and removed endoscopically. Indications for colonoscopy included routine screening ( n=4) or rectal bleeding ( n=1). The duodenal and gastric polyps were diagnosed and removed during gastroduodenoscopic examinations, which were performed for nonspecific dyspepsia ( n=2) or gastrointestinal bleeding ( n=1). The median size was 20 mm (range 2 mm-25 mm). Patients were followed for a median of 11.5 years (range 3-22) without another PJP or cancer. Three patients died of causes unrelated to PJP. Five patients are alive and polyp free. CONCLUSION: Solitary PJP do not carry a risk of gastrointestinal cancer and are not an indication for specific high-risk screening.     

Mucosal prolapse in the pathogenesis of Peutz-Jeghers polyposis

Germline mutations in LKB1 cause the rare cancer prone disorder Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). Gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps constitute the major phenotypic trait in PJS. Hamartomatous polyps arising in PJS patients are generally considered to lack premalignant potential although rare neoplastic changes in these polyps and an increased gastrointestinal cancer risk in PJS are well documented. These conflicting observations are resolved in the current hypothesis by providing a unifying explanation for these contrasting features of PJS polyposis. We postulate that a genetic predisposition to epithelial prolapse underlies the formation of the polyps associated with PJS. Conventional sporadic adenomas arising in PJS patients will similarly show mucosal prolapse and carry the associated histological features.     

Screening for early pancreatic neoplasia in high-risk individuals: a prospective controlled study.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Individuals with a strong family history of pancreatic cancer and persons with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) have an increased risk for pancreatic cancer. This study screened for early pancreatic neoplasia and compared the pancreatic abnormalities in high-risk individuals and control subjects. METHODS: High-risk individuals with PJS or a strong family history of pancreatic cancer were prospectively evaluated with baseline and 12-month computed tomography (CT) scan and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). If EUS was abnormal, EUS-fine-needle aspiration and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were performed. Surgery was offered to patients with potentially neoplastic lesions. Radiologic findings and pathologic diagnoses were compared. Patients undergoing EUS and/or ERCP for benign non-pancreatic indications were concurrently enrolled as control subjects. RESULTS: Seventy-eight high-risk patients (72 from familial pancreatic cancer kindreds, 6 PJS) and 149 control patients were studied. To date, 8 patients with pancreatic neoplasia have been confirmed by surgery or fine-needle aspiration (10% yield of screening); 6 patients had 8 benign intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), 1 had an IPMN that progressed to invasive ductal adenocarcinoma, and 1 had pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia. EUS and CT also diagnosed 3 patients with 5 extrapancreatic neoplasms. At EUS and ERCP abnormalities suggestive of chronic pancreatitis were more common in high-risk patients than in control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Screening EUS and CT diagnosed significant asymptomatic pancreatic and extrapancreatic neoplasms in high-risk individuals. IPMN should be considered a part of the phenotype of familial pancreatic cancer. Abnormalities suggestive of chronic pancreatitis are identified more commonly at EUS and ERCP in high-risk individuals.     

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome： Diagnostic and therapeutic approach

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an inherited, autosomal dominant disorder distinguished by hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and pigmented mucocutaneous lesions.Prevalence of PJS is estimated from 1 in 8300 to 1 in 280 000 individuals.PJS predisposes sufferers to various malignancies (gastrointestinal, pancreatic, lung, breast, uterine, ovarian and testicular tumors).Bleeding, obstruction and intussusception are common complications in patients with PJS.Double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) allows examination and treatment of the small bowel.Polypectomy using DBE may obviate the need for repeated urgent operations and small bowel resection that leads to short bowel syndrome.Prophylaxis and polypectomy of the entire small bowel is the gold standard in PJS patients.Intraoperative enteroscopy (IOE) was the only possibility for endoscopic treatment of patients with PJS before the DBE era.Both DBE and IOE facilitate exploration and treatment of the small intestine.DBE is less invasive and more convenient for the patient.Both procedures are generally safe and useful.An overall recommendation for PJS patients includes not only gastrointestinal multiple polyp resolution, but also regular lifelong cancer screening (colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound of the pancreas, chest X-ray, mammography and pelvic examination with ultrasound in women, and testicular examination in men).Although the incidence of PJS is low, it is important for clinicians to recognize these disorders to prevent morbidity and mortality in these patients, and to perform presymptomatic testing in the first-degree relatives of PJS patients.     

STK11/LKB1 germline mutations in the first Peutz-Jeghers syndrome patients identified in Slovakia

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is characterized by number of hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and by mucocutaneous hypermelanocytic lesions at different sites. Older patients have an increased risk of the cancers of small intestine, stomach, pancreas, colon, esophagus, ovary, testis, uterus, breast and lung. In majority of PJS cases, the germline mutations in serine/threonine kinase STK11/LKB1 gene were found to be associated with disease. Here we report the results of a first mutational screen of STK11/LKB1 in PJS patients characterized in Slovak population. The first patient with unusual carcinoma of duodenum was a sporadic case and carried c.842delC change residing in a mutational C6 repeat hotspot. Neither the polyp nor the tumor of the patient displayed the loss of heterozygosity at the site of mutation suggesting different mechanism involved in the formation of polyp and tumor in this case. The second patient belonged to a three-generation family with typical PJS features but not cancers. Interestingly, the patient displayed concomitant occurrence of adenomatous and hamartomatous polyps. Molecular analysis revealed an IVS2+1A>G mutation that alters the second intron 5' splice site and was shown to lead to aberrant splicing mediated by the U12-dependent spliceosome. The same mutation was present in the 9 affected members of the family but in none of their normal relatives. We also observed novel c. IVS2+61G>A unclassified variant, and recurrent IVS2+24G>T and 3UTR+129C>T polymorphisms. Based on the achieved results, we could offer predictive genetic testing and counseling to other members of the patient's families.     

Extraintestinal polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome: presentation of four cases and review of the literature

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and typical pigment lesions. Extraintestinal polyps have rarely been reported. Possible sites include the respiratory tract, urogenital tract, and gallbladder. We here describe four cases of extraintestinal polyps in PJS patients and review the literature on the need for operative therapy of extraintestinal polyps in PJS. Three nonrelated patients were examined who had PJS and polyps in the gallbladder; the fourth patient had PJS and recurrent choanal polyps. Surgery has so far been performed only for symptomatic polyps: one laparoscopic cholecystectomy and removal of the choanal polyps for recurrent infections of the respiratory tract. The remaining two patients reported no symptoms from the extraintestinal polyps. No malignant transformation was found in these patients, nor has such been reported in the literature on PJS. The frequent observation of this manifestation in our patients raises the question of clinical management: Is prophylactic surgery indicated? Since malignant transformation of PJS polyps in the intestine is extremely rare we see no reason for operative therapy as long as the polyps are small and asymptomatic. Regular sonographic controls are recommended since the risk of malignant transformation cannot be ruled out at present.     

Laparoscopic-assisted double-balloon enteroscopy for small-bowel polyp surveillance and treatment in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome

BACKGROUND: Surveillance and treatment of small-bowel polyps in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) can be challenging and may require intraoperative enteroscopy. While initial reports that used double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) for the resection of small-bowel polyps in patients with PJS appear promising, complete enteroscopy when using this technique may require multiple procedures or may not be possible at all. OBJECTIVE: To develop a single-procedure approach to the surveillance and the treatment of small-bowel polyps in patients with PJS. DESIGN: Retrospective review. SETTING: Single, North American tertiary-care center. PATIENTS: Individuals with PJS and small-bowel polyps identified by other modalities. INTERVENTIONS: DBE was combined with laparoscopy as a single-procedure surveillance and therapeutic strategy for small-bowel PJS polyps. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Completion of enteroscopy, number of polyps resected, procedure duration, complications. RESULTS: Three patients with a history of PJS and known small-bowel polyps underwent laparoscopic-assisted DBE (LADBE). Complete enteroscopy was performed, and all polyps larger than 0.5 cm were resected endoscopically. No cases of cancer or dysplasia were noted; procedure times lasted from 1 to 4 hours. Postoperative complications included ileus in 2 patients. LIMITATIONS: Small sample size, single-center experience. CONCLUSIONS: LADBE holds promise as a new technique that can be used as both a surveillance and a therapeutic tool for small-bowel polyps in patients with PJS.     

The utility of capsule endoscopy small bowel surveillance in patients with polyposis

BACKGROUND: Small intestinal (SI) surveillance is recommended for polyposis patients. The utility and safety of capsule endoscopy (CE) for surveillance of SI neoplasia in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is unknown. METHODS: CE was offered to consecutive FAP and PJS patients due for routine upper endoscopic surveillance. The prevalence, location (jejunum, ileum), size (1-5 mm, 6-10 mm, >10 mm) and number (1-5, 6-12, >20) of polyps detected by CE was assessed. RESULTS: 19 subjects (15 FAP/4 PJS) with a mean age of 43 were included. All subjects had previous intestinal surgery. No complications occurred with CE. CE in FAP: 9/15 (60%) of subjects with FAP had SI polyps. The prevalence of SI polyps was related to the duodenal polyposis stage and subject age. The location, size and number of polyps progressed as duodenal polyposis stage advanced. CE in PJS: 3/4 (75%) of subjects with PJS had SI polyps. The polyps were diffuse in 2/4 and only in the ileum in one subject. CE findings led to laparotomy with intra-operative endoscopic polypectomy in two PJS patients. CONCLUSION: SI polyps are common in FAP but their importance is unknown. CE should be performed in FAP patients with stage III and IV duodenal disease. Clinically significant polyps are commonly detected by CE in PJS and lead to change in management in 50% of PJS subjects. CE should replace radiographic SI surveillance for PJS patients. CE is safe in polyposis patients who have undergone major intestinal surgery.     

Update on imaging of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare, autosomal dominant disease linked to a mutation of the STK 11 gene and is characterized by the development of benign hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract in association with a hyperpigmentation on the lips and oral mucosa. Patients affected by PJS have an increased risk of developing gastrointestinal and extra-digestive cancer. Malignancy most commonly occurs in the small-bowel. Extra-intestinal malignancies are mostly breast cancer and gynecological tumors or, to a lesser extent, pancreatic cancer. These polyps are also at risk of acute gastrointestinal bleeding, intussusception and bowel obstruction. Recent guidelines recommend regular small-bowel surveillance to reduce these risks associated with PJS. Small-bowel surveillance allows for the detection of large polyps and the further referral of selected PJS patients for endoscopic enteroscopy or surgery. Video capsule endoscopy, double balloon pushed enteroscopy, multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance enteroclysis or enterography, all of which are relatively new techniques, have an important role in the management of patients suffering from PJS. This review illustrates the pathological, clinical and imaging features of small-bowel abnormalities as well as the role and performance of the most recent imaging modalities for the detection and follow-up of PJS patients.

PEUTZ‐JEGHERS SYNDROME ASSOCIATED WITH RENAL AND GASTRIC CANCER THAT DEMONSTRATED AN STK11 MISSENSE MUTATION

A 75‐year‐old male was admitted to the gastroenterology unit of Nagoya City University Hospital due to epigastralgia after surgical treatment for right renal cancer. Endoscopy revealed advanced type 1 gastric cancer in the corpus of the stomach and multiple polypoid lesions in the stomach and duodenum. X‐ray examination of the small intestine using barium showed multiple polyps in the upper jejunum. Faint pigmentation on the palm was also detected. Peutz‐Jeghers syndrome (PJS) was diagnosed, despite a lack of family history. Total gastrectomy, resection of part of the upper jejunum and intraoperative endoscopic polypectomy of duodenal polyps was performed. This is the second reported case of PJS associated with renal cancer. We also detected a missense mutation in the tumor suppressor gene STK11 that, when mutated, is causative for PJS.
