Role of microsatellite instability, immunohistochemistry and Mismatch Repair germline aberrations in immunosuppressed transplant patients: a phenocopy dilemma in Muir-Torre Syndrome. [PDF]
Sebaceous tumours and keratoacanthomas are uncommon neoplasms that constitute important clinical criteria for Muir-Torre Syndrome (MTS) diagnosis. In MTS patients, the increased risk of developing synchronous or metachronous visceral malignancies is ...

Abstract Background Muir–Torre syndrome (MTS) is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by mismatch repair (MMR) protein mutations. MTS increases the risk of developing skin and gastrointestinal tumors such as sebaceous adenomas (SAs), sebaceous carcinomas, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer. The risk of developing these types of

Microsatellite instability, immunohistochemistry and germline mismatch repair gene mutations for the diagnosis of Muir-Torre syndrome in immunosuppressed patients [PDF]
Although rare sebaceous tumors and keratoacanthomas are clinical criteria for Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS), they can also be found in the context of immunosuppression.

A rare extraocular sebaceous carcinoma mimicking primary ectopic breast cancer
Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is an aggressive malignancy derived from the sebaceous glands. SC is divided into two categories, ocular and extraocular. Extraocular SC is quite rare, and is also associated with the Muir-Torre syndrome, which is regarded as a ...

Muir-Torre Syndrome with Novel Mutation in the MSH2 Gene [PDF]
Muir-Torre syndrome (MST) is a rare autosomal dominant subtype of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal carcinoma. The diagnosis is established based on the coexistence of sebaceous gland tumors and visceral organ malignancies. Mutations in the mismatch

Muir-Torre syndrome is a predictor of gastric cancer (clinical observation)
Muir-Torre syndrome is a hereditary autosomal dominant syndrome that belongs to HNPCC (Lynch syndrome), being its subspecies. The disease is associated with a high risk of developing colorectal cancer, as well as other cancers of the gastrointestinal ...
