Patients with the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome carry a slight, though definite, increased risk of gastrointestinal carcinoma. The malignant potential of Peutz-Jerghers hamartomatous polyps, generally considered benign is discussed. Two cases of metastasizing gastrointestinal carcinoma associated with the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are described in a 56 yr old female and her 29 yr old son. Both mother and son died from duodenal and gastric carcinomas respectively, which developed in hamartomatous polyps with extensive metastases. Both cases also showed dysplastic areas within hamartomatous polyps. Hamartomatous polyps may, in some cases, be the precursors of digestive tract carcinomas.
