Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hyperpigmented mucocutaneous macules, hamartomatous polyps of the small intestine, and family history. These hamartomatous polyps can cause intermittent abdominal pain, chronic anemia, or even intussusception. Imaging has an important role in the diagnosis of this syndrome but also in the identification of complications and periodic surveillance. Here, we present a demonstrative case of a Peutz-Jeghers syndrome associated with intussusception in a 16-year-old patient.
