An unusual case of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in an infant
D. M. Morens and S. P. Garvey
An 11-month-old girl had an unusual history of colocolonic intussusception
associated with polyps that prolapsed through the rectum. Several months
thereafter, characteristic brownish-black pigment spots of the lips were
noted. The histologic appearance of the polyps was consistent with that of
the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the youngest reported
case of symptomatic Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
