Overview

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern. Polyps of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are usually non-neoplastic hamartomas. It is thought that Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is the result of deletion or partial deletion of STK11 (LBK1) gene, located on chromosome 19p13.3. Mucutaneous pigmentation (macules) are caused by pigment-laden macrophages in the dermis.

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

It is thought that Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is the result of deletion or partial deletion of STK11 (LBK1) gene, located on chromosome 19p13.3.^[1]^[2]
STK11 protein plays an important role in second messenger signal transduction and is found to regulate cellular proliferation, controls cell polarity, and responds to low energy states.

In Mammalian studies, STK11 is shown in the inhibition of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and signals downstream to inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR).
- The mTOR pathway is dysregulated in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Pathogenesis of mucutaneous pigmentation (macules)
- Caused by pigment-laden macrophages in the dermis.

Genetics

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.

Associated Conditions

Conditions associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome include:

Gross Pathology

On gorss pathology, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome associated polyps have a unique smooth muscle core that arborizes throughout the polyp.^[1]
- These polyps can only be differentiated from other polyp types by histopathology.

Microscopic Pathology

Polyps of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are usually non-neoplastic hamartomas.^[3]
On microscopic histopathological analysis, polyps have the following characteristic findings:^[2]

Frond-like polyp with all three components of mucosa:
- Muscosal epithelium (melanotic mucosa, goblet cells)
- Lamina propria
- Muscularis mucosae
