Abstract

We report a patient with Muir-Torre syndrome. A 46-year-old man had a lesion in the transverse colon and a 2-cm lesion on the skin of his back. The patient underwent transverse colectomy and resection of the skin tumor. On pathology, the transverse colon lesion was a stage IIa (pT3N0M0), moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. The lesion of the skin on his back was a sebaceous carcinoma. The patient's mother had died of cancer when the patient was five years old. He has had no recurrences during 6 months of follow up.
