Muir‐Torre syndrome patients have multiple internal malignancies along with cutaneous sebaceous proliferations and keratoacanthomas. We describe a 62‐year‐old male with nine primary internal malignancies who survived eight years after his initial tumor was identified. His sebaceous lesions ranged from innocuous adenomas to an anaplastic carcinoma of the chin which recurred and spread locally to involve the mandible and the right parotid region.
