Abstract
Dear Editor,
The authors present a 42-year-old man with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) diagnosed in 1993, who presented with melena and hematemesis. After endoscopic investigation, the patient was referred for surgery and intra-operative enteroscopy (IOE) to surgically remove a 6 cm gastric polyp, a 4 cm jejunal polyp and two cecal polyps of 3 cm and 7 cm. Histopathology revealed hamartomatous polyps. Genetic analysis confirmed a deletion in the STK11 gene.
