Multiple self-healing squamous epithelioma - (pronounced) (MUL-tih-pul. . . HEEL-ing SKWAY-mus EH-pih-THEE-lee-OH-muh) rare inherited disorder in which many fast-growing tumors that look like squamous cell carcinoma form 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. Multiple self-healing squamous epitheliomas are caused by mutations (changes) in the TGFBR1 gene. Also called Ferguson-Smith Syndrome and MSSE
