Two Cases of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
Abstract
- Two cases of Feutz-Jeghers Syndrome which showed typical muco-cutaneous pigmentations were reported and the literatures were reviewed. The case 1 was 9 years old boy, who began to have his skin pigmentations 8 years ago but had no gastro-intestinal symptoms No gastro-intestinal polyposis was demonstrable by X-ray r.xamination, but a fetus head sized space was noted in the pelvic area which pressed the small bowel upward. The case 2 was 10 years old girl, who also began to have her skin lesions 8 years ago and had periodic epigactric pain at the intervals of 10 to 14 days for I year which was suggestive of the possibility of the intestinal polyposis But the patient refused X-ray study against medical advice.
