Abstract

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease characterized by multiple hamartomatous-type gastrointestinal polyps associated with mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation.

A case of a 25-year-old male patient with a history of right hemicolectomy due to ileocolonic intussusception secondary to a giant polyp in the terminal ileum is reported. This patient consulted for rectal bleeding, with evidence on physical examination of dark brown hyperchromatic lesions on the buccal mucosa. A total colonoscopy was performed, noting multiple polyps. Endoscopic mucosectomy was conducted on some of them, being histopathologically compatible with hamartomatous polyps.
