Muir-Torre syndrome is a rare genodermatosis characterized by the occurrence of at
least one sebaceous tumor associated with visceral neoplasia, but with no
predisposing factors. The sebaceous neoplasm may appear before, during or after the
diagnosis of colorectal cancer. As it is regarded as a subtype of nonpolyposis
hereditary colorectal cancer, it is important to evaluate the patient's first-degree
relatives. The clinical course of the neoplasm is usually more indolent and the
syndrome has a good prognosis. We report the case of a patient who, after a ten-year
diagnosis of colorectal cancer, presented with multiple sebaceous neoplasms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
