Unusual manifestations of Peutz-Jegher's syndrome in children

PeutzJegher's syndrome (PJS) is a rare, autosomal dominant disease, characterized by gastrointestinal (GI) polyps and perioral hyperpigmentation along with the increased risk of certain malignancies. In children, the most common presentation is recurrent intussusception due to polyps. These polyps can involve any part of the GI tract and can present with a variety of clinical presentations. Usually, these polyps can be removed endoscopically but often require surgical excision also. In this report, we discuss two children of PJS with uncommon presentations, one presented with retrograde intussusception and another with gastric outlet obstruction. The first child underwent laparoscopy and another required open surgery with intraoperative enteroscopy.
