Abstract	We present the case of a 19-year-old woman from Punjab who presented with acute abdominal pain and vomiting. Clinical examination revealed tenderness and guarding in the right upper abdomen, with mucocutaneous pigmentation on her lips and oral mucosa, consistent with PJS. Imaging studies, including ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), demonstrated small bowel obstruction and ileo-ileal intussusception. Exploratory laparotomy revealed intussusception with a lead-point polyp, which was resected, followed by ileo-ileal anastomosis. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a hamartomatous polyp typical of PJS. The patient recovered well postoperatively and remained asymptomatic during six months of follow-up
