Abstract
Eight pediatric patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome were treated from 1984 to 1994 at the Department of Surgery, Seoul National University Children's Hospital. We reviewed the clinical features of our own 8 cases as well as 56 cases reported in Korean literatures. The results were compared to those of western reports. Gastrointestinal complications in our series were more frequent than in the Korean series, but the distribution of polyps was similar. The Korean series showed the following characteristics compared to the western reports; demographic backgrounds were similar; gastrointestinal symptoms were more common; location of the polyp was more frequent in colon (2 times); and the most prevalent site of malignant change was the colon in Korean cases.
