CASE:: A 43-year-old woman presented with an advanced-stage breast cancer
and a pelvic mass. The patient was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy
followed by laparotomy with a hysterectomy and
oophorectomy. Final pathologic examination revealed a concomitant breast
cancer with metastasis to the ovaries, bilateral stromal tumors with annular
tubules of the ovaries, and adenoma malignum of the cervix.

We report a case of a 54-year-old Caucasian woman with an earlier diagnosis
of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) and sex cord tumor with annular tubules
(SCTAT). The sex cord stromal tumors showed aggressive malignant behavior with
repeated recurrence and metastasis.

CASE: Multiple genital tract cancers in a 34-year-old woman with PJS are described. The patient, who was admitted to our department with severe vaginal bleeding, was performed right salpingo-oophorectomy because of pure gonadoblastoma in 1996. In 2003, concomitant to cervical carcinoma, breast cancer was diagnosed. Patient
underwent left modified radical mastectomy due to the invasive papillary
carcinoma. The patient received six cycles combination chemotherapy and radiation
therapy because of stage IIIB cervical cancer.

Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome with multiple genital tract tumors and breast
cancer: a case report with a review of literatures.

Song SH, Lee JK, Saw HS, Choi SY, Koo BH, Kim A, Yeom BW, Kim I.

Seoul, Korea.

We report here on the multiple genital tract neoplasms in a 41-yr-old
Korean woman with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS). The patient presented with lower
abdominal pain. Her previous medical history was PJS and breast cancer.
Pelvic ultrasound showed a multilocular cyst at the right adnexal region,
diagnosed as bilateral ovarian mucinous borderline tumors. An ovarian sex cord tumor
with annular tubules was incidentally diagnosed together with a minimal
deviation adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix and mucinous metaplasia of both the
Fallopian tubal mucosa and the endometrium.

Bab Saadoun, Tunisia

The authors report a case of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in a young patient who developed a colonic adenocarcinoma in a hamartomatous polyp together with an incidentally discovered bilateral malignant sex cord tumours. We discuss its association with certain benign and malignant tumors and the risk of rare complications of these hamartomatous polyps.

Milan, Italy

CASE: Multiple genital tract neoplasms in a 41-year-old Italian woman with
PJS are described. The patient presented with abdominal pain due to
intussusception. A CT scan of the abdomen also showed a left adnexal mass, diagnosed
as ovarian mixed serous and mucinous borderline tumor. An ovarian
microscopic sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTAT) was incidentally diagnosed
together with a minimal deviation mucinous adenocarcinoma of the uterine
cervix. Also areas of typical hyperplasia of the tubal mucosa with mucinous
metaplasia were found.

San Sebastián.

We present the case of a 68-year-old woman with Peutz-Jeghers
syndrome who presented with right kidney carcinoma and numerous small,
bilateral tumors of the sex cords with annular tubules of the ovary. Right
nephrectomy, double annexectomy and total hysterectomy were performed. The
patient died two years later following the development of rectal carcinoma
diagnosed by sigmoidoscopy and biopsy and an episode of obstructive jaundice
compatible with cholangiocarcinoma.
