Popis: Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is an autosomal-dominant variant of Lynch hereditary cancer syndrome. MTS is defined by sebaceous neoplasms occurring in association with 1 or more internal malignancies.1 The sebaceous neoplasms that characterize MTS are rare among the general population and include sebaceous adenoma, sebaceoma, sebaceous carcinoma, keratoacanthoma with sebaceous differentiation, and basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation.2 A recent case series described several central nervous system (CNS) malignancies associated with MTS occurring after the development of colon cancer.3 We report a case of MTS with glioblastoma multiforme as the initial internal malignancy.
