ABSTRACT
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is characterized by intestinal hamartomatous polyposis (usually affecting the jejunum) and mucocutaneous melanin spots. Though malignant changes are not common, PJS can predispose to carcinoma in the GI tract and elsewhere. We report a 25-year-old man with PJS who developed small intestinal adenocarcinoma and presented with small bowel obstruction due to jejuno-ileal intussusception.
