Sažetak
Muir-Torre syndrome (Muir, 1967, Torre, 1968) is a rare, autosomal dominantly inherited disorder defined by the occurrence of multiple visceral carcinomas and different types of sebaceous neoplasms. Visceral neoplasms have a relatively good prognosis. Sebaceous tumors may precede or follow the occurrence of visceral malignancy. We present 68-year-old male patient with nodular tumour on the neck, showing a typical histologic picture of sebaceoma. His medical history included carcinoma of the testis at the age of 52 and colorectal carcinoma at the age of 65. His brother also had colorectal carcinoma at the age of 51. Sebaceal neoplasms are very rare evants and each finding raises suspicion of Muir-Torre syndrome. Thorough history data are therefore very important and family members should be examined for possible occurrence of visceral carcinoma which is usually colorectal.
