Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer is an autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndrome characterized by the variable development of 3 tumors: cutaneous piloleiomyomata that develop in essentially all patients by age 40 years; leiomyomata (fibroids) of the uterus, and ...
Diagnosis OMIM Smit et al. (2011) proposed criteria for the clinical diagnosis of HLRCC. The major criterion is multiple cutaneous piloleiomyomas; minor criteria include severely symptomatic early-onset uterine leiomyomas, type 2 papillary renal carcinoma before age 40, and a first-degree relative ...
Clinical Description OMIM Kloepfer et al. (1958) described 3 Italian half first cousins with multiple leiomyomata of the skin. The parents and common grandparent were not known to be affected, but all critical individuals were not examined. The skin tumors were composed ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Following up on the demonstration that both multiple leiomyoma and the leiomyomatosis/renal cell cancer syndrome maps to chromosome 1q42.3-q43, Tomlinson et al. (2002) identified 15 different heterozygous germline mutations in the FH gene (see, e.g., 136850.0003-136850.0006) in 25 families ...

Clinical Description GeneReviews The clinical characteristics of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) include cutaneous leiomyomas, uterine leiomyomata (fibroids), and/or renal tumors. Affected individuals may have multiple cutaneous leiomyomas, a single skin leiomyoma, or no cutaneous lesion; a single renal tumor or no renal tumors; and/or uterine fibroids. Disease severity shows significant intra- and interfamilial variation [Wei et al 2006]....

Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Cutaneous lesions. Cutaneous leiomyomas are rare and particular to hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). Because leiomyomas are clinically similar to various cutaneous lesions, histologic diagnosis is required....
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC), the following evaluations are recommended:...
