Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer [DS:H02565] Colorectal cancer [DS:H00020] Mismatch repair deficiency [DS:H00876]
Description
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.
