Peutz jeghers polyp
A hamartomatous polyp that occurs in the stomach, small and large intestines, and rarely within the esophagus, nasopharynx and the urinary tract. The Peutz-Jeghers polyps are grossly lobulated and dark. Microscopically, they have a central core of smooth muscle covered by mucosa. The smooth muscle shows tree-like branching. The question of whether or not the Peutz-Jeghers polyp is precancerous is a matter of controversy. The loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 19p (where the responsible gene LKB1 is located) suggests that the increased risk of malignancy may be due to malignant transformation from hamartoma to adenocarcinoma. --2002

Hello Curofians! Please check my case. I have pain in my thumb for 1 month after a minor injury. No wound, no swelling. Little redness is there, as you can see in the images, which should have disappeared by now as the injury was 1 month back. No pain on palpation. Pain occurs with even minor twisting of the thumb and also with percussion in the marked region. Please check the x-ray & clinical images from today. Age - 33 years No comorbidity No pain in other joints as such.
