ABSTRACT
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by mucocutaneous melanin deposition, intestinal polyposis and an increased risk of cancer, both intestinal and extra-intestinal. We describe the current status of diagnosis and the methods by which the consequences of this condition can be minimized. A surveillance program for those diagnosed is also included.
