  • Title: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome: is family screening needed?
    Author: Baumgartner G, Neuweiler J, Herzog D.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2000; 16(5-6):437-9. PubMed ID: 10955585.
    Abstract:
    In a 7-year-old boy, a small-bowel polyp was found intraoperatively as a lead point of an intussusception. Histologically, a hamartoma was found and the clinical work-up revealed Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). Additionally, all four asymptomatic siblings showed intestinal polyposis. All children in a family with PJS should be properly investigated. In case of an intussusception with a polyp in a critical location, a surgical procedure should follow.
