title: [Muir-Torre syndrome. Apropos of a case associated with a familial form of cancer].
abstract: We report the case of 41 year-old male patient, in whom multiple and recurrent infrequent cutaneous lesions (sebaceous adenomas) led to suspect the diagnosis of Muir-Torre syndrome. This diagnosis was confirmed when 2 colo-rectal adenocarcinomas were discovered and curatively excised (trans-anal excision, followed by total colectomy). The Muir-Torre syndrome was part of a familial cancer syndrome in this case, as the patient's mother and brother died from colonic cancer before the age of 45. The case-report underlines the diagnostic role of cutaneous lesions in this syndrome, allowing early detection of internal malignancy.
