ABSTRACT
On the basis of a case report, we conducted a search through the literature concerning Muir-Torre syndrome. This syndrome is considered to be a phenotypic variant of Lynch syndrome (or Human Non Polyposis Colorectal Cancer). Muir-Torre syndrome is a familial cancer syndrome defined as the association of an internal malignancy with cutaneous sebaceous tumors. It is a rare disease. In our knowledge, this case is the first reported skin lesion related to Muir-Torre syndrome, located on the breast and mimicking ulcerated breast cancer. Genetic counselling obviously has an important place in the management of this pathology.
