Abstract:
Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by at least one rare sebaceous neoplasm occurring in association with at least one internal malignancy. The visceral neoplasms most frequently associated with MTS are colorectal and genitourinary cancer, accounting for approximately 50 and 25% of cases, respectively. MTS rarely occurs in association with head and neck cancers. We report a rare case of MTS involving follicular thyroid carcinoma in an 84-year-old female.
