A Case of Muir-Torre Syndrome with Ocular Sebaceous Carcinoma

Abstract

A 72-year-old woman presented with a nodule of 7 years duration on her left upper eyelid, which had grown larger in size and had also become ulcerated over the past 3 year period. The nodule was totally excised. The histopathological features of the nodule were consistent with those of ocular sebaceous carcinoma. She had a personal history of rectal cancer 4 years earlier. Based on these findings, we diagnosed Muir-Torre syndrome. No evidence of reccurrence and no development of any new neoplasms have been observed during the 2 year follow-up.
