Case report: a case of solitary Peutz-Jegher's hamartoma in the small bowel with angiographic evaluation.
A case of a solitary small bowel Peutz-Jegher's hamartoma in which angiography revealed the lesion to be vascular is presented. The findings suggest that not all Peutz-Jegher's hamartomas are hypovascular as previously reported and that this type of polyp may mimic other vascular lesions such as haemangiomas and leiomyomas.
