Aims The aim of this study was to assess the safety of endoscopic resection of gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps in patients with PJS

Methods We conducted a retrospective and observational study in a tertiary care center in Mexico City from 2000 to 2019. All patients with PJS diagnosis who underwent for endoscopic polypectomy were included. Their clinical characteristics, polyp size, endoscopic treatment and complications were reviewed.

Results Fifty-nine endoscopic procedures and 136 polypectomies were performed in 15 patients. Most of these resections were in colon (48.5%), followed by small bowel and stomach. There were only 2 severe complications (1.4%), a perforation that required surgery and a late hemorraghe treated with hemostatic clips with a favourable outcome. No death ocurred. Four patients developed neoplasm (gastric, cervic, ovary and breast).

Conclusions According to our results we can conclude that endoscopic resection of hamartomas in patients with PJS is a safe procedure.
