Résumé

Hereditary syndromes of predisposition to skin cancer are rare conditions with several different modes of transmission (autosomal recessive, dominant or X-linked). These conditions predispose principally to skin tumors, but sometimes, although more rarely, to some visceral tumors. The clinical and histologic characteristics of the tumors observed in these conditions are generally identical to those of sporadic forms. They are distinguished, however, by their multiple number and their earlier onset.
