In a 35-year old man with deep venous thrombosis liver metastases of an adenocarcinoma were observed. The primary tumour was not found. The patient had pigmentations on the lips and hamartomatous polyposis of the intestine. These findings indicate Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. In this syndrome there is an increased risk of, notably, gastrointestinal malignancy at an early age. Recent investigations have shown that Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is associated with a mutation in the STK11 gene on chromosome 19.

We experienced a patient with severe protein-losing enteropathy and generalized inflammatory polyposis. In addition, this case was complicated by deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk for thromboembolic events, most commonly in the setting of active colitis. However, our patient was in the remission stage. We report the occurrence of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism as a complication of inflammatory polyposis and protein-losing enteropathy in the remission stage of ulcerative colitis.
