MSSE - A rare, inherited disorder in which multiple, fast-growing tumors that look like squamous cell carcinomas develop on the nose, face, ears, arms, and legs. The tumors usually go away on their own but often leave deep, pitted scars in the skin. The tumors on the arms and legs are often larger and leave shallow scars. MSSE is caused by mutations (changes) in the TGFBR1 gene. Also known as Ferguson-Smith Syndrome and multiple self-healing squamous epithelioma
