Abstract

Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant pathology with variable inheritance that is characterized by hyperpigmented lesions on the lips, oral mucosa, soles, and palms associated with hamartomatous polyps throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract. One of the most common symptoms in PJS is intestinal intussusception. Next, we will present the case of a minor with data of intestinal intussusception and who was diagnosed with PJS.
