Guazzarotti Laura , Mauri Silvia , Occhipinti Federica , Petruzzi Mariangela , Sonnino Micol , Tenconi Andrea Angela , Pogliani Laura , Zuccotti Gian Vincenzo

Background: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder frequently caused by the serine-threonine-kinase-11(STK11) gene mutation and characterized by hamartomatous polyps throughout the gastrointestinal tract, mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation and predisposition to several malignancies. Rarely, PJS may be associated to an oestrogen producing large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumour that may result in gynecomastia and increased growth velocity (GV).<p ...
