Colorectal adenomacarcinoma in a patient with peutz-jeghers syndrome
Main Article Content
Abstract
Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is a rare disease, characterized by hamartomatous polyposis of the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract and pigmentation around lips, eyelids and macules on the buccal mucosa. The objective of the study was to describe one case of colorectal adenocarcinoma in a patient with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome. A case study report was applied. A 36-year-old male with PJS was hospitalized because of vomiting and intermittent abdominal pain. Imaging showed small-bowel intussusception in the pelvic region, along with colorectal polyps; the largest polyp in the high rectum measuring 38 x 37 mm was lobulated. Pathological results showed that the large polyp in the rectum is adenocarcinoma invading the smooth muscle layer; other polyps are typical Peutz-Jeghers polyps, with low-grade dysplasia. The patient was diagnosed with a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma invading the smooth muscle layer/ Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
