Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome characterized by melanotic macules and hamartomatous polyps. Small-bowel surveillance in the pediatric PJS population is not designed to identify small-bowel malignancy, which is thought to arise in adulthood. A 13-year-old boy presented with lead-point intussusception, requiring emergent surgical resection. A mucinous adenocarcinoma was found arising from high-grade dysplasia within a polyp. On the basis of these findings and mucosal pigmentation, he was diagnosed with PJS. DNA sequencing revealed a heterozygous c. 921-1G> T STK11 mutation. This case is the earliest onset of small-bowel carcinoma in PJS, an observation relevant to surveillance guidelines.BACKGROUNDPeutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome characterized by melanotic pigmented macules, hamartomatous polyps, and an increased risk of cancer. 1 The unusual pigmentation on the lips and its inherited nature has been clinically known since the report of “Hutchinson’s twins” by British physicians Connor and Hutchinson, a finding which was assumed to be a curiosity. 1 However, its relationship to cancer risk was suggested when one of these twins subsequently died of intestinal obstruction and the other of breast cancer. In 1949, Jeghers et al 2 proposed that a single pleiotropic gene was likely responsible for this cancer predisposition syndrome. The diagnostic criteria of PJS are based on the clinical findings and require the presence of hamartomas and 2 of the following:(1) family history of PJS;(2) mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation; or (3) small-bowel polyposis. 1 PJS leads to life-threatening complications including lead-point intussusception because of the presence of the polyps and an array of solid tumors.
