Resumo(s)
We present the case of an eight year-old girl with a family
history of hammartous polyposis that was observed at the Pediatric
Gastroenterology Department. Physical examination disclosed
mucocutaneous melanic spots in the conjunctivae, lips,
mouth and fingers, suggesting a Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and
indicating an endoscopic screening. She performed a video
capsule endoscopy that showed the presence of multiple polyps
in the small bowel, supporting this diagnosis.
