Ferguson-Smith Syndrome - (pronounced) (FER-guh-son. . . SIN-drome) A rare inherited disorder in which many rapidly growing tumors that look like squamous cell carcinomas occur on the nose, face, ears, form 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. Ferguson-Smith syndrome is caused by mutations (changes) in the TGFBR1 gene. Also referred to as MSSE and multiple self-healing squamous epithelioma
