How To Diagnose If Muir-Torre Syndrome Associated With Colon Cancer?
I RECENTLY HAD A SEBACIOUS ADENOMA REMOVED FROM MY CHIN BY A DERMATOLOGIST. THE DOCTOR STATED THAT IT MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH/MUIR TORIE SYNDROME. SHE HAD ASKED WHEN MY LAST COLONOSCOPY WAS AND I TOLD HER IN 2014. THE DOCTOR SAID AT THAT TIME THAT MY TESTING RESULTS WERE NORMAL. IS THIS ASSOCIATED WITH CANCER, COLON CANCER?
