RESUMO
We present a case of a 24-year-old woman with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, recurrent colic abdominal pain, and lower gastrointestinal bleed for the last 5 years. Colonoscopy showed hamartomas without any dysplasia. In the enteral magnetic resonance imaging, a distal jejunum and ileum invagination, secondary to hamartomas was detected. The patient was referred to the Surgery Department and despite few symptoms, elective surgery was proposed. By laparoscopic surgery approach, the entire bowel was carefully revised, 3 intussusceptions and bowel volvulus were found, 2 in jejunum and 1 in ileum, causing incomplete obstruction and intestinal dilatation, with a diameter of 6 cm. These intussusception areas were marked with a silk filament, after achieving devolvulation and disinvagination. A 5-cm laparotomy was done, to externalize the entire bowel, to explore it manually, to verify the absence of other lesions, and locate silk points. By longitudinal enterotomies on the antimesenteric intestinal border where silk filaments were located, the polyps were removed through their stalk, and the enterotomies were transversely closed. Postoperative evolution was favorable, starting oral tolerance on the fourth day and being discharged from the hospital on the seventh day. Eight months later, the patient was asymptomatic with a better quality of life.
