Abstract
- Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is a rare genetic disorder, considered a subtype of Lynch syndrome, that causes sebaceous cutaneous tumors and increases the risk of internal visceral tumors. We present a case of a 63-year-old male with a history of MTS with sebaceous tumors, colorectal, and urothelial cancers who underwent fluorine-18-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography [18F]FDG PET/CT to follow-up on multiple [18F]FDG avid skin lesions and right pelvic lymph nodes. Although few reports are available detailing the utility of [18F]FDG PET/CT in this rare disease, this modality appears useful, and superior, to computed tomography in the diagnosis and follow-up of MTS.
