Abstract

Abstract Peutz–Jeghers syndrome is a rare but potentially life‐threating syndrome. We report here the case of a young girl who presented recurrent small bowel intussusceptions. Laparotomy exploration showed many jejunal polyps leading to jejunojejunal intussusceptions. These were removed via mini enterotomies and pathological examination concluded to Peutz–Jeghers polyps.
