Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by the presence of at least one cutaneous sebaceous tumor and one visceral malignancy, arising mostly from the gastrointestinal tract. We present the case of a 63-year-old man with several cutaneous and visceral neoplasias in the context of MTS, and a pelvic lymph node lesion diagnosed initially as metastatic sebaceous carcinoma, but later identified as metastasis from a newly diagnosed prostatic adenocarcinoma. Histological similarities between these 2 lesions are discussed. A systematic literature review was conducted evaluating all published cases of patients with MTS in which metastases were reported. Eighteen articles were included in the final synthesis, representing 20 patients with a total of 26 metastases. Seventeen patients (85%) exhibited metastases originating from MTS-related neoplasms, whereas only 2 patients (11%) exhibited metastases from concomitant malignancies. Of the 85% of patients with metastases from MTS-related malignancies, most originated from noncutaneous sources (78% from visceral neoplasms and 22% from sebaceous carcinomas). When stratifying according to metastases, 23 cases (88%) originated from MTS-related lesions, whereas only 3 (12%) originated from unrelated malignancies. Our findings thus demonstrate that most metastases found in MTS patients (88%) do indeed originate from MTS-related neoplasms. Nevertheless, it remains imperative that a broad differential diagnosis is maintained when assessing a novel lesion, to avoid misdiagnoses, as in the present case, with significant therapeutic and prognostic implications.
