Muir‐Torre syndrome is characterized by multiple sebaceous tumors, various internal malignancies and an autosomal dominant inheritance. We herein report a typical case. The patient was a 69‐year‐old man with sebaceous adenomas, a keratoacanthoma, and actinic keratosis in addition to carcinomas of the prostate, colon, duodenum, and larynx. His family members also suffered from multiple cancers.
