Muir-Torre syndrome is a rare genodermatosis (hereditary cancer syndrome associated with distinguishing cutaneous signs) characterised by occurrence of sebaceous neoplasia and visceral malignancy. Colorectal cancer is the commonest visceral malignancy associated with Muir-Torre syndrome. We discuss a case report along with recommendations for diagnosis and screening.

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.
