Peutz-Jeghers polyp, abbreviated PJP, is an uncommon hamartomous gastrointestinal polyp. It is usually associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
General
Epidemiology
- Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is autosomal dominant.
- Altered gene: STK11.
Clinical
Features:[3]
- Melanocytic macules.
- Lips, buccal mucosa, and digits.
- Multiple Peutz-Jeghers polyps.
Increased risk of various neoplasms - primarily:
- Breast and gastrointestinal cancer.[4]
- Others tumours:[5]
- Granulosa cell tumour.
- Sertoli cell tumour - esp. with calcification.
Microscopic
- Frond-like polyp with all three components of mucosa:
- Muscosal epithelium (melanotic mucosa, goblet cells).
- Lamina propria.
- M. mucosae.
Notes:
- Frond = leaflike expansion.[6]
- The key is "thick" smooth muscle bundles - if one is lucky one sees branching.[7]
- "Thick" ~= thickness of muscularis mucosae.
- The key is "thick" smooth muscle bundles - if one is lucky one sees branching.[7]
DDx:
- Hyperplastic polyp of the stomach - should not have thickened muscle.
- May be confused with PJP as branching may not be apparent.
