Muir-Torre Syndrome

Muir-Torre Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that increases the risk of developing certain skin tumors and internal cancers, especially in the gastrointestinal and reproductive organs. It is caused by inherited mutations in genes responsible for repairing DNA errors, leading to multiple skin growths called sebaceous tumors and a higher likelihood of cancers. People with this syndrome often have a family history of similar conditions. Early detection through regular medical check-ups can help manage risks and catch related cancers promptly.
