Muir-Torre syndrome patients have multiple visceral malignancies along with cutaneous sebaceous tumors and keratoacanthomas. We describe a history of a 64-year-old male patient with 13 tumours, who survived 13 years. The initial ascending colon adenocarcinoma was followed by some different tumors of the skin: adenoma and carcinoma of sebaceous glands, epidermoid and basaloid carcinoma and other benign tumors. The last time developed rectal adenocarcinoma was operated.

Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare cutaneous malignancy of sebaceous glands, but it is up to 25-fold more common in immunosuppressed individuals. In this narrative review, we examine the current literature on the pathogenesis, incidence, risk factors, prognosis, treatment, and surveillance of sebaceous carcinoma in immunosuppression and highlight practical considerations for providers who care for these patients. Increased incidence may be related to decreased immune surveillance, susceptibility to an unknown viral trigger, microsatellite instability, immunosuppressive medications, and unmasking of occult Muir-Torre Syndrome.

Sebaceous gland hyperplasia is a benign cutaneous entity commonly seen in older men. Occasionally, it can develop in young patients on immunosuppression with cyclosporine or in adolescent boys in the peripubertal age group. It is extremely rare in young children with no reports of eyelid involvement.

Article Synopsis
- Adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive cancer, often with a poor prognosis, underscoring the necessity for early detection and treatment through surgical resection.
- This case study features a 59-year-old man with a hereditary form of ACC linked to Muir-Torre syndrome, indicating a connection between Lynch syndrome and increased risk of this malignancy, particularly in families with a history of ACC.
- The findings stress the importance of targeted cancer screening for individuals with Lynch syndrome and the critical need for distinct germline and somatic genetic testing in cancer cases to better inform treatment options.
