M A Barros, and M F Mexedo, and J Mesquita-Guimarães, and A Nunes da Ponte

We describe two cases of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, a 13 years old female and a 8 years old male patients. In the first case the patient showed pigmented macules on lips, face and oral mucosa, as well as gastric and jejunal polyposis which caused total gastrectomy and segmental enterectomy. The second patient had melanosis on the lower lip, face, buccal mucosa, forearms and perianal area, and the gastric endoscopy revealed two small gastric polyps on the angular incisura.
