title: [A case of Torre's syndrome: association of a meibomian adenocarcinoma with a cecal tumor].
abstract: The authors report a case of sebaceous adenocarcinoma of the eyelid developed in meibomian glands. This tumor grew slowly for several years and was diagnosed three years after an intestinal adenocarcinoma was discovered in the same patient. This case is part of a Torre's syndrome (association of a sebaceous neoplasm and a visceral malignancy). Such an association represents an original example of multiple tumors and shows that the discovery of a sebaceous tumor, benign or malignant, indicates a careful search of an internal malignancy.
