* Mucocutaneous pigmentations (melanin spots) are present in more than 95% of people with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. They occur most commonly on the lips and perioral region, palms of the hands, buccal mucosa, and soles of the feet. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is associated with gastrointestinal polyps, which can cause LGIB (but probably not UGIB).
