To the Editor： Peutz-Jeghers syndrome （PJS） is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentation and hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps. Due to the possible association between PJS and cancer, multidetector computed tomography （MDCT） enterography is regularly used for the surveillance of the small bowel to reduce polyp-related complications, particularly of intussusceptions. Given rare conditions of multiple intussusceptions in PJS, the study investigated a case of a 15-year-old girl who was diagnosed with concurrent intestinal intussusception and colon intussusception due to relatively large polyps by MDCT enterography. In this case, MDCT enterography was enabled to provide information of polyps and complicated intussusceptions in PJS for the consequent endoscopic enteroscopy or surgery.
