Abstract EN
We describe an asymptomatic case of PJS in a six-year-old boy with café au lait spots in several parts of his body, a large gastroduodenal polyp, two polyps near the ampulla of Vater, and another in the jejunum.
This patient shows some unique aspects of PJS.
No other such large gastric polyp in a Peutz-Jeghers child is reported in the literature.
The large size of the gastric polyp with lack of symptoms is unusual and poses a unique challenge in terms of management and surgical resection.
