ABSTRACT | |
Peutz- Jeghers Syndrome ( PJ S ) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome characterised by the familial occurrence of gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps in association with mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation. We here report a case of 6 yr old female child presented with colicky abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. The patient underwent laparotomy due to small bowel intussusception secondary to a jejunal polyp. Histological examination showed the characteristic features of Peutz-Jeghers Polyp (PJP), but no other features of (PJS) as laid down by WHO were seen. Solitary PJP is an extremely rare condition, with an estimated incidence of 1:1,20,000 and all previously reported patients were older than this patient. |
