Abstract:
Sebaceous tumours include hyperplasia, adenoma, sebaceoma and carcinoma. Importantly, the latter three are potential markers of Torre-Muir syndrome; the hereditary association of sebaceous neoplasia and internal malignancy, most commonly colorectal carcinoma. The diagnostic features, differential diagnosis, molecular diagnostics and recent advances in pathogenesis of this rare group of tumours are discussed along with Torre-Muir syndrome and recommendations for screening for this important association.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
