Abstract EN

The presence of sebaceous gland neoplasm and visceral malignancy is a very rare condition.

We present two cases of Muir-Torre Syndrome (MTS) with different clinical presentations.

The syndrome is associated with high incidence of multiple malignancies in various systems.

One patient presented with a sebaceous cyst carcinoma and later with colonic neoplastic polyps while the other, after several colectomies for malignancy, developed a sebaceous cyst neoplasm.

MTS is a hereditary disease; therefore, the family members may need to be counseled and screened, as early detection improves the overall prognosis and survival of the affected individual.
