title: [The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Study of 2 familial cases].
abstract: Two new familial cases of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are reported. The cases present a number of original aspects with regard to anomalous transmission of the defect, the common finding of a single ileal polyp and associated malformations in the first of the two cases. The clinical aspects of the disease are discussed together with the histology of the polyps in relation to their possibility or otherwise of degenerating. Finally, the various surgical techniques indicated for the treatment of this rare condition are examined.
