Abstract

The authors describe a case of clinical observation of a 12-year-old girl with diffuse polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract (Peutz-Jeghers syndrome), operated on for small intestinal intussusception caused by polyposis. During the examination of the mother, the hereditary nature of the disease was confirmed. The case is interesting due to the rarity of the pathology. The feature of the disease in a specific case is noted.
