Abstrakt:	Muir–Torre syndrome (MTS) is a rare subtype of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer syndrome caused by a defect in DNA mismatch repair leading to microsatellite instability. It is characterized by the presence of at least one sebaceous gland tumor and one internal malignancy, most commonly colorectal and endometrial tumors. These patients have a high propensity for tumorigenesis, and while strict screening protocols are in place, there are only two cases that describe the management approach to recurrent colon cancer. Here, we present a case of recurrent colorectal cancer in a patient with MTS, and describe how it was managed at our facility by a multidisciplinary team. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
