Overview
Common physical examination findings of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome include mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation, abdominal tenderness due to intussusception, bowel obstruction, and pallor due to anemia.
Physical Examination
Appearance of the Patient
Vitals
Skin
- Patches of hyperpigmentation on the hands and feet[1]
- Jaundice may be suggestive of pancreatic cancer
Eyes
- Icteric sclera
Throat
- Oral mucosa
- Mucocutaneous pigmentation causing patches of hyperpigmentation in the oral mucosa (gingiva, hard palate, buccal mucosa, and labial mucosa)[1][2]
Neck
Lungs
- If lung cancer develops, the patient may present with the following:
- Wheezing
- Consolidation with reduced breath sounds on auscultation
- Rales
- Egophony
- Chest movement may be asymmetric
Abdomen
- Abdominal distention
- Abdominal tenderness
- Rebound tenderness
- An acute abdomen may be suggestive of intussusception
- An abdominal mass may be suggestive of hepatic or pancreatic cancer
- Guarding
- Hepatomegaly may be suggestive of hepatic cancer
Extremities
- Patches of hyperpigmentation on the hands and feet[2]
- Clubbing may be suggestive of lung cancer
- Cyanosis may be suggestive of lung cancer
