Overview
If left untreated, patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome may progress to develop rectal bleeding, anemia, intussusception, bowel obstruction, and abdominal pain. Common complications of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome include colon cancer and cachexia. Prognosis is generally good with treatment.
Natural History
If left untreated, patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome may progress to develop rectal bleeding, anemia, intussusception, bowel obstruction, and abdominal pain.[1]
Complications
Complications that can develop as a result of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are:[2][3]
- Colon cancer
- Cachexia
- Anemia
- Intussusception
- Gastrointestinal tract adenocarcinoma, although the polyps themselves are not premalignant
- Extraintestinal malignancies:[4]
- Adenoma malignum (adenocarcinoma subtype of cervix)
- Breast cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Ovaries: sex cord tumors
- Testis: Sertoli cell tumors
- Lung cancer
- Uterine cancer
- Paraganglioma
Prognosis
Prognosis is generally good with treatment. Almost half of Peutz-Jeghers patients die from cancer between age 50-60, and the cumulative risk of developing a form of cancer associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome between ages 15-64 is 93%.[5]
