- Abstract
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disease. There is an increased prevalence of cancer in the PJS. A 48-year-old male patient with PJS was admitted to the clinic with bilateral consolidated areas in the thorax observed on a computed tomography image. A bronchoscopy revealed a tumorous lesion in the mucosa in the right upper lobe anterior segment. Pathological analysis of a sample led to a diagnosis of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.
