| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of this paper is to present a rare case of Peutz–Jeghers syndrome and review the literature. Peutz–Jeghers syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant inherited syndrome associated with gastrointestinal polyposis and characteristic skin pigmentation. Typical clinical manifestations of the disease occur in the first two decades of life and are associated with complications secondary to intestinal polyps, often requiring surgical treatment. Also, patients need continuous surveillance due to a higher risk of developing intra- and extraintestinal malignancies. We present a case of young man who was operated for the fourth time due to a complicated course of the disease causing recurrent intussusceptions. There were no pathological findings on admission, except mild anemia and leukocytosis, though a thorough evaluation of the anamnesis conditioned a quick and proper management of multiple intussusceptions. |
