RESUMO
The presence of sebaceous gland neoplasm and visceral malignancy is a very rare condition
We present two cases of Muir-Torre Syndrome [MTS] with different clinical presentations
The syndrome is associated with high incidence of multiple malignancies in various systems
One patient presented with a sebaceous cyst carcinoma and later with colonic neoplastic polyps while the other, after several colectomies for malignancy, developed a sebaceous cyst neoplasm
MTS is a hereditary disease; therefore, the family members may need to be counseled and screened, as early detection improves the overall prognosis and survival of the affected individual
