Abstract
Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is a rare, autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by sebaceous neoplasms, keratoacanthomas, and visceral malignancies [1, 2]. MTS is a phenotypic subset of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) caused by mutations in mismatch repair genes associated with microsatellite instability [3]. Due to the increased risk in developing visceral malignancies, it is important that the proper diagnosis to be made as early as possible and family members be evaluated for MTS and its associated cancers.
