Editor’s note: Multiple self-healing squamous epitheliomas, also known as Ferguson-Smith syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple squamous-carcinoma-like skin tumors in sun-exposed areas or sites of trauma. These lesions typically form rapidly, are locally invasive, and regress spontaneously within weeks, resolving as scars. Previous linkage studies had assigned Ferguson-Smith syndrome to a region on chromosome 9q22 (Oncogene 2006;25:806–12).
