  • Title: [Gastric adenocarcinoma in hamartomatous polyp in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome].
    Author: Bujanda L, Beguiristain A, Villar JM, Cosme A, Castiella A, Arriola JA, Arenas JI.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Hepatol; 1996 Nov; 19(9):452-5. PubMed ID: 8998668.
    Abstract:
    The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is characterized by gastrointestinal polyposis and mucocutaneous melanin pigmentation. Between the complications are the appearance of gastrointestinal neoplasms. There is an increasing evidence suggesting the hamartoma-adenoma-carcinoma sequence in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. We present a 32-years-old man with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome who developed an adenocarcinoma arising in a gastric hamartomatous polyp. We discuss the risk to develop gastrointestinal neoplasms and the necessity for periodic surveillance.
