Abstract

Solitary hamartomatous polyps with identical pathological features of the typical hamartomas of the Peutz-Jegher syndrome are extremely rare. These solitary lesions lack the associated intestinal polyposis, classic mucocutaneous pigmentation, and family history typifying the Peutz-Jegher syndrome. We describe the case of a 31-year-old woman with a giant solitary gastric hamartoma endoscopically diagnosed and laparoscopically resected.

Keywords: Hamartomatous polyp; Laparoscopic resection; Peutz-Jegher syndrome; endoscopic resection; Solitary gastric Peutz-Jeghers polyp.
