We describe a patient with both Muir-Torre syndrome and alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. A keratoacanthoma developed after immunosuppressive therapy for necrotizing vasculitis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Muir-Torre syndrome associated with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Sebaceous carcinoma in immunosuppressed patients: a narrative review.
Arch Dermatol Res

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.

Background: Adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is an extremely rare malignancy, and advanced ACC carries a very poor prognosis. Early detection is critical since early-stage disease can be cured with surgical resection. ACC can be seen in Lynch syndrome; this case and review of the literature provide insight as to the potential biological origin of this malignancy.

Synchronous colorectal carcinoma is having more than 1 primary carcinoma detected in a single patient at the same time or within 6 months of tumor diagnosis. Metachronous colorectal carcinoma is the presence of more than 1 primary carcinoma detected consecutively in a single person after a set time interval. Patients with Lynch syndrome and Muir-Torre syndrome (a subset of Lynch syndrome) inherit a germline mutation in 1 of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes.
