Front

diagnostic aids for peutz-jeghers syndrome

Back

-GIT polyps diagnosis through:

1-barium enema or barium meal

2-endoscopic examination

what causes endocrinopathic pigmentation

Back

-Progressive bilateral destruction of adrenal cortex due to auto immune disease, infection or malignancy (addison's disease)

2-stimulation of feedback loop

3-excess secretion of ACTH which has melanocyte stimulating properties

4-melanin overproduction
