Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in women with jejunojejunal intussusception and multiple gastrointestinal polyposis: A case report
Accurate diagnosis of PJS depends on childhood history, family history, physical examination, endoscopic evaluation, and genetic testing. Their presentation varies, ranging from gastointestinal bleeding to intestinal obstruction brought on by intussusception. Surgical resections remain the recommended treatment in patients with intussusception associated with large and rapidly growing polyps.
