초록
The hamartomatous polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome may have malignant potential. To differentiate between hamarto-matous and adenomas polyps, vascular characterization can be assessed using noninvasive procedures, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The neo-angiogenic character-istics of colorectal adenomas and carcinomas are expressed as an anarchic vascular pattern observed on CEUS. Using CEUS in a patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, we describe for the first time the vascularization of a hamartomatous colonic polyp that exhibits a hierarchy branching pattern
