Peutz-Jeghers syndrome

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autonomic dominant disease characterized by hamartomatous polyps and mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation. We present 16 cases; females were more affected. The most common presenting complaints were of gastrointestinal tract. All polyps found were hamartomatous with general distribution through gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic polypectomy should be carried out for treatment. Radiologic, endoscopic and histologic studies should be conducted for long-term follow-up, because of high risk of malignancy.
