Abstract
Familial association of gastrointestinal polyposis with mucocutaneous pigmentation was first reportde by Peutz in 1921. Following reemphsis by Jeghers in 1949, it became a definite clinical disease entity known as Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, which is rare disease with about 12cases reported in Korea. This was a report of our experience with two cases of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, which were diagnosed in a 4 year old boy, who had mucocutaneous pigmentation and multiple polyposis in the whole gastrointestinal tract. Main complaints were abdominal pain and bloody stool in 2 cases. Only one case had familial history whose father had pigmentation on the left flank.
