Muir-Torre-like syndrome in Fhit-deficient mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To investigate the role of the Fhit gene in carcinogen induction of neoplasia, we have inactivated one Fhit allele in mouse embryonic stem cells and produced (129/SvJ x C57BL/6J) F(1) mice with a Fhit allele inactivated (+/-). Fhit +/+ and +/- mice were treated intragastrically with nitrosomethylbenzylamine and observed for 10 wk posttreatment. A total of 25% of the +/+ mice developed adenoma or papilloma of the forestomach, whereas 100% of the +/- mice developed multiple tumors that were a mixture of adenomas, squamous papillomas, invasive carcinomas of the forestomach, as well as tumors of sebaceous glands. The visceral and sebaceous tumors, which lacked Fhit protein, were similar to those characteristic of Muir-Torre familial cancer syndrome.

Muir-Torre syndrome is a rare cancer predisposition syndrome characterized by unusual cutaneous tumors and internal malignancy. The cutaneous tumors associated with Muir-Torre syndrome include mainly sebaceous gland neoplasms (sebaceous adenoma and sebaceous carcinoma), keratoacanthoma, and basal cell carcinoma. Colorectal and genitourinary carcinoma are the common types of internal malignancie...
متن کاملThe role of immunohistochemistry in the Muir-Torre Syndrome*
Muir-Torre Syndrome is defined by the coexistence of sebaceous skin tumors and internal malignancies. Mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes are found in the inherited form of the disease, resulting in the absence of crucial enzymes involved with DNA replication process. This case describes a patient with sebaceous adenoma and colorectal carcinoma, meeting the criteria for Muir-Torre Syndro...

Patients with Muir-Torre syndrome, an autosomal-dominant familial tumor condition caused by germline mutation of the DNA mismatch repair genes, MSH2 or MLH1, present with tumors of the sebaceous gland and visceral malignancies characterized by microsatellite instability. Here we show development of glioblastoma multiforme in a patient with Muir-Torre syndrome. Immunohistochemical analysis of th...
متن کاملFDG-PET-positive lower-extremity sebaceous-gland carcinoma in a patient with Muir-Torre syndrome
Sebaceous-gland carcinoma can occur alone or as one of the defining features of the Muir-Torre syndrome. Cases occurring below the head and neck are extremely rare. Here we describe the case of a 70-year-old male with Muir-Torre syndrome who had a recurrent sebaceous-gland carcinoma in the left lower extremity that demonstrated (18)F-FDG avidity. An (18)F-FDG-avid lower-extremity sebaceous-glan...
متن کاملMuir-Torre syndrome: a variant of the cancer family syndrome.
Muir-Torre syndrome is characterised by the association of sebaceous tumours of the skin with internal malignancy. In many instances there is a strong family history of cancer and the autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, tumour spectrum, and high incidence of synchronous and metachronous tumours show parallels with the cancer family syndrome or Lynch II syndrome. We report a five generation ...
