The Muir-Torre syndrome is a variant of the hereditary non-polypous colorectal carcinoma ( Lynch syndrome ), in which additional skin symptoms can be observed.

First described by Muir et al. 1967 and Torre 1968, in addition to carcinomas, urothelial and endometrial carcinomas , which are mainly located in the right colon , multiple benign and malignant sebum tumors and keratoacanthomas of the skin also occur.

The causes include mutations in genes that code for DNA mismatch repair proteins .
