Learn About Muir-Torre Syndrome

What is the definition of Muir-Torre Syndrome?
Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is a form of Lynch syndrome and is characterized by sebaceous (oil gland) skin tumors in association with internal cancers. The most common internal site involved is the gastrointestinal tract (with almost half of affected people having colorectal cancer), followed by the genitourinary tract. Skin lesions may develop before or after the diagnosis of the internal cancer. MTS is caused by changes in the MLH1 or MSH2 genes and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. A genetic change in either of these genes gives a person an increased lifetime risk of developing the skin changes and types of cancer associated with the condition.
What are the alternative names for Muir-Torre Syndrome?
  • Muir-Torre syndrome
  • Cutaneous sebaceous neoplasms and keratoacanthomas multiple with gastrointestinal and other carcinomas
  • Keratoacanthoma
