Description
Kyra Salinkas, Sabeen Wazir, Madeline Keen, and Lance Albin describe a 2026 case where a small bowel polyp caused the bowel to telescope into itself in a young woman with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. That inherited condition causes polyps in the gut and dark spots on the lips and hands, and raises the risk of this emergency. She also carried a gene change for a second inherited condition.
The 29-year-old arrived with stabbing pain in her lower back and nausea. She had needed bowel surgery as a teenager for the same problem. Scans suggested the telescoping had returned. Surgeons removed about twenty centimetres of small bowel, and tissue tests confirmed the polyp type behind it.
