Muir-Torre syndrome presenting with ileus: a case report.
The Muir-Torre syndrome is characterized by cutaneous neoplasms and visceral malignancies. At least one sebaceous adenoma, epithelioma or carcinoma and at least one internal malignancy are required to make a reliable diagnosis. According to medical literature only two cases of Muir-Torre syndrome with jejunal carcinoma have been reported to date and there is no reported case with intestinal obstruction. Here, we report an unusual case of jejunal carcinoma presenting with ileus.
