Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare condition, requiring regular endoscopic or radiological diagnostic studies. Polyps are a potential source of dysplasia and malignancy. We present a case in which we used a new diagnostic and therapeutic approach to this pathology by performing a laparoscopically assisted endoscopic polypectomy. This approach is minimally invasive and can be repeated if necessary. It might also be adopted for diagnosis and treatment of other intestinal pathologies, such as vascular malformations in the small bowel.

Abstract
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare condition, requiring regular endoscopic or radiological diagnostic studies. Polyps are a potential source of dysplasia and malignancy. We present a case in which we used a new diagnostic and therapeutic approach to this pathology by performing a laparoscopically assisted endoscopic polypectomy. This approach is minimally invasive and can be repeated if necessary. It might also be adopted for diagnosis and treatment of other intestinal pathologies, such as vascular malformations in the small bowel.Pubblicazioni consigliate
