Abstract
In this article, we will present Lynch syndrome type I/HNPCC (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, the subtypes and generalities about Lynch syndrome type II, and the rarer variant, Muir-Torre Syndrome (MTS). In addition, we discuss the importance of suspecting this syndrome in endometrial cancer and the genetic testing needed to confirm this diagnosis.
