Peutz–Jeghers Syndrome is an autosomal dominant inheritedhamartomatous polyp. We present a case of a 5-year-old young boywith a history of per rectal bleeding and mass protruding out of the anus. Physical examination revealed presence of mucocutaneous pigmented lesions over the tongue, and few hamartomatous polyps protruding out of the rectum suggesting Peutz–Jeghers syndrome. The presence in early infancy of small, well-demarcated and dark-brown to blue-black lentigines on the lips,buccal mucosa and perioral skin, should alert the clinician to Peutz–Jeghers Syndrome.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v4i8.11597 Journal of Pathology of Nepal; Vol.4,No. 8 (2014) 677-679

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, belonging to the hamartomatous polyposis syndromes. It is characterized by multiple hamartomatous polyps of the gastrointestinal tract associated with oral and anal mucocutaneous pigmentations. We report the case of an adult patient diagnosed with an atypical form of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, thereby emphasizing the different possible syndrome phenotypes and the difficulty of their diagnosis.

Abstract Background Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentation and hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). There have also been cases of extra GIT polyps such as the renal pelvis, urinary bladder, lungs and nares. Bladder hamartoma is an extremely rare finding, with only 12 cases described in the literature up to now. The rarity of the condition necessitates a comprehensive compilation of managements up to now so as to provide a better tool for the treatment of such conditions in the future. Case presentation A twenty-year-old male, known to have Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, presented to us complaining of obstructive urinary symptoms. A urethrogram done showed a filling defect at the base of the urinary bladder. The mass was resected transurethrally, and histopathology revealed a hamartoma of the bladder. The patient has since remained tumor-free on follow-up. Conclusions Transurethral resection of the bladder mass proved to be an effective therapy in this patient with no recurrence on the patient’s follow-up till now. There is still, however, a dearth of knowledge regarding the management of bladder hamartomas owing to the extreme rarity of the case.

AbstractHamartomatous polyps of the gastrointestinal tract can occur sporadically, however, for several hereditary syndromes, their presence is one of the major clinical features. Peutz–Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis syndrome, and the PTEN hamartoma syndromes are autosomal dominant inherited disorders that predispose to formation of such polyps, especially in the colon and rectum. These can lead to increased colorectal cancer risk and should be followed and managed appropriately. In this article, the three major hereditary hamartomatous syndromes are described, including presentation, colorectal surveillance, and management.
