ABSTRACT
Two unusual cases of small intestinal intussusception presenting as bowel obstruction are presented. They both had freckle-like pigmentation of the perioral area, palms and soles of the feet with intestinal polyps which acted as lead points in the intussusception. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome was diagnosed. This report highlights the high risk of cancer of the intestines and extra-intestinal sites associated with this interesting but rare condition.
