Muir-Torre syndrome

Definition:

Muir-Torre syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant genodermatosis characterized by sebaceous neoplasms and one or more visceral malignancies. Because patients have germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes MSH2 and MLH1, Muir-Torre syndrome is considered a phenotypic subtype of Lynch syndrome.
