Muir-Torre syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/229304403

Muir-Torre syndrome is an alternative form (variant) of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) with sebaceous tumours and keratoacanthocytomas. People with Muir-Torre syndrome are also at risk for developing certain skin changes in adulthood that may form in the sebaceous glands. Two genes have been linked to Muir-Torre syndrome, MLH1 and MSH2. People with Muir-Torre syndrome have an increased risk of the types of cancer seen in HNPCC.
