Abstract
An observation of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, in a 13 year old girl, provides the Authors with the opportunity of reviewing the clinical features, the natural history and the complications of the disease, mainly the malignancies. In recent reviews the occurrence of cancer was further on investigated: gastrointestinal and non gastrointestinal tumors occurred in 22-48% of the patients examined. The surveillance protocols of the subjects at risk and genetic counseling are discussed.

Abstract
Juvenile polyps are the most common tumors of the gastrointestinal tract in children and are the principal cause of hematochezia. A total of 103 children and adolescents with intestinal polyps have been treated in Veterans General Hospital-Taipei from March 1961 to March 1994. The diagnosis included 87 cases (84.5%) of juvenile polyps, 2 cases of isolated adenomatous polyp and 14 cases of inherited polyposis syndrome. Juvenile polyps most often occur in children between 2 to 10 years old, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.4:1. Rectal bleeding was the main symptom (97.7%). Of the 87 patients, 82.8% had isolated polyps and 83.3% of those were located in rectosigmoid colon. After extensive use of colonoscopy, the reported incidence of multiple polyps substantially increased, and more polyps were found proximal to the rectosigmoid colon. Most juvenile polyps were removed by colonoscopic polypectomy. The recurrent rate was 10.2%. One of the two cases of juvenile polyposis coli suffered from intussusception demanding partial colectomy. Recurrent polyps were found in the remaining colon and were removed by colonoscopic polypectomy. Seven patients of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome came from five families. At initial diagnosis, one case had no polyps and two presented with intussusception. A 19-year-old girl was found to have bilateral ovarian cysts. One of the three familial adenomatous polyposis had adenocarcinoma at initial evaluation. Two cases of Gardner's syndrome received sulindac treatment, and no evidence of malignancy was found after three years of follow-up.

Abstract
Most radiologists are familiar with the clinical and radiologic features of the familial adenomatous polyposis syndromes [1]. The hamartomatous polyposis syndromes occur less frequently, however, and their radiologic and clinical manifestations are not as well known. This group of syndromes includes Peutz-Jeghers, multiple hamartoma, juvenile polyposis, Cronkhite-Canada, and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba. The predominant gastrointestinal lesion in these diseases is some form of hamartomatous polyp. The term hamartoma implies a nonneoplastic tumor or tumorlike condition composed of tissue elements normally present in the particular area [2]. In many of these syndromes, it is now recognized that hamartomatous polyps of the gastrointestinal tract coexist with adenomas and that adenomas may develop within hamartomatous polyps. Either situation may contribute to the frequent association of alimentary tract adenocarcinoma that occurs in most of these syndromes. Various types of benign mucocutaneous lesions are common and often lead to the correct diagnosis. Of greater importance is the frequent occurrence of other extraintestinal manifestations, including several forms of malignant disease. Because of this frequent association with both gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal malignant tumors, early and accurate diagnosis of these syndromes is essential. Meticulously performed double contrast studies are the preferred radiologic procedures for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal polyps in all of these diseases.

Abstract
Cases of familial polyposis coli and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are reported for the first time in Ethiopia. One case seemed to have the defect as a new mutation in his gene while the other possibly inherited from his father. The one with polyposis coli had transmitted the disease to his offspring. This patient had total colectomy for prophylaxis against a potential carcinoma of the colon.

Abstract
We report CT and ultrasound (US) features of adenoma malignum of the uterine cervix in a patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) in whom bilateral ovarian mucinous cystadenomas and sex cord tumors with annular tubules were associated. Adenoma malignum was shown as a hyperechoic mass mixed with multiple cysts on US and a low attenuated endocervical mass on CT. We think that imaging demonstration of an endocervical mass is important for the correct diagnosis of adenoma malignum in a female with PJS.

Abstract
We are relating a case of the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, a disease characterized by hamartomatous polyposis and by mucocutaneous melanic pigmentation, in a rare variant identified by the presence of nasal polyposis. At the objective E.N.T. examination, the patient's nasal fossae were completely obstructed by translucid masses of a polypoid appearance and, moreover, a melanic pigmentation of the cutis, of the perilabial mucosa and of the oral cavity was encountered. At the X-ray examination and, later, during the operation, also the right maxillary sinus appeared completely obstructed by polypoid masses. At the histologic examination, such polypoid neoformations were quite similar to common polyps of an inflammatory nature and, so, absolutely without any peculiar structural features. The nasal polyposis in patients suffering from the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome has been mentioned by Peutz since his first observation but it has been seldom described in the subsequent publications, even in relation to the presentation of rare causes to Congresses and Magazines of an exclusively gastroenterological interest, in which the main concern was that of identifying both the clinical and histological aspects of gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyposis and the correlation between the syndrome and the formation of malignant neoplasias in other organs to the prejudice of the secondary manifestations of the disease. Nevertheless, the nasal polyposis and, at any rate, the tendency to the formation of polyps in other districts (urinary tract, bronchi) are described among the less important features also in gastroenterological treatises of most recent publication. Clinical observations, even occasional, are completely missing in the E.N.T. ambit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Two cases brothers of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are reported, in which the gastrointestinal polyps were resected by laparotomy and enterotomy. One of the polyps was in the cecum and was found to have atypia cellular change, though no malignancy was found in the others, which were thought to be hamartomas. The hamartomatous polyps were initially thought to have little potential for malignancy, and the disease was believed to have a relatively benign course. However, reports in the literature have associated this syndrome with various kinds of malignancies, and the overall risk of cancer in this population is regarded as higher than normal. The analysis of our cases and a review of the literatures are presented for clarification of the predisposition of the development of malignancies in these patients.

Abstract
Eight patients with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) have been diagnosed by fiber light colonoscope in recent ten years in our hospital. Four of them coming from the same family. It was called "Gao family". We made a survey on 42 members in 5 generation of the family including 13 definite patients and 3 suspicious patients. The specification of PJS, the malignant change of polyps and the misdiagnosis of hamartoma are discussed in this paper.

Abstract
The authors describe the case of a 7 year old boy who presented an intestinal intussusception due to a large jejunal hamartomatous jejunal polyp. The preoperative diagnosis of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome was based on typical mucocutaneous pigmentation and confirmed by radiological examination including computerized tomography of the abdomen. Following recent data from the literature, a long-term surveillance is justified after diagnosis of this syndrome, since malignant degeneration may occur within the intestinal polyps as well as in other organs.

Abstract
We treated a male teenager with a solitary gastric Peutz-Jeghers type (hamartomatous) polyp showing neither mucocutaneous pigmentation nor inheritance. X-ray studies of the upper gastro-intestinal tract, small intestine and barium enema revealed a solitary thumb tip-sized polypoid mass in the posterior wall of the gastric body, with no evidence of any associated lesion. Histologically, the polypoid mass showed typical features of a Peutz-Jeghers type (hamartomatous) polyp. This may be the first documentation of a "solitary" gastric Peutz-Jeghers type polyp, in the absence of familial polyposis coli and mucocutaneous pigmentation.

Abstract
We report on a girl with hamartomatous intestinal polyps and a large mass that involved most of the posterior wall of the bladder, which on microscopic examination had the characteristics of a hamartoma. Hamartomas are among the rarest of bladder tumors. Our case is only the third reported under this designation, although 3 other cases may fall into this category. Of the 6 patients 4 have been children. Although most polypoid bladder tumors in children are rhabdomyosarcomas of the botryoid type, our case illustrates that rarely other lesions are similar grossly. Recognition of these lesions has clinical implications with regard to therapy and prognosis.
