HLRCC: hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer INTRODUCTION Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) (formerly known as Reed syndrome, multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomatosis, leiomyomatosis cutis et uteri, and multiple leiomyomatosis) is an autosomal dominant syndrome comprising cutaneous leiomyomas, uterine leiomyomas, or renal tumors. The cutaneous leiomyomas of ...

Alias Multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomatosis (MCUL) Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) Note Multiple cutaneous leiomyomatosis (MCUL) is characterized by multiple leiomyomas of the skin and uterus. When associated with renal cell cancer, this syndrome is referred to as hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). Inheritance Autosomal dominant with incompl...

INTRODUCTION Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is a rare disease. Almost all disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis cases described in the literature are associated with a gynecological disorder or a mass in the abdominal cavity. Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis with only chronic constipation has not been reported in the English literature. We present a case of a patient with dissemi...

Gastroesophageal-vul var leiomyomatosis is a very rare condition it is characterized by diffuse, ill-defined proliferation of smooth muscle in the esophagus and vulva. We present an interesting case of esophageal leiomyomatosis in a woman with a history of vulvar leiomyomatosis and a gall bladder full of stones. She was 18-years old and had a 4 year history of vulvar mass and clitoromegaly,...

Diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis is a rare benign tumor, which can be associated with leiomyoma in female genital tracts involving the uterus, vagina, and vulva. Alport syndrome, an inherited disorder that includes the kidneys, eyes, and sensorineural hearing loss, is also rarely associated with these multiple leiomyomatosis. In our case, (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/c...

Introduction Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a benign and rare condition that can result in cardiac events with fatal outcomes when left untreated. Intravenous leiomyomatosis is probably underestimated because the diagnosis is easily missed. We present a case of an intravenous leiomyomatosis without extra-pelvic involvement, with a brief review of this pathology. Case Report 46-year-old woman sub...

Note Alport Syndrome (AS) is a rare hereditary glomerular nephropathy, its incidence is approximatively 1/5000 individuals. Its association with leiomyomatosis is estimated at 5% of the cases. Leiomyomatosis tends to affect young boys (mean age: 6 years) and women at a mean age of 40 years. In contrast to the renal lesions which are less severe among women, the leiomyomatosis is as severe in wo...

BACKGROUND Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a special type of uterine leiomyoma and features formation and growth of benign leiomyoma tissue within vascular wall. Benign metastatic leiomyoma refers to benign leiomyoma metastasizing to extra-uterine sites, dominantly lung. Solitary or multiple small nodules in the lung can be seen in image scans. METHODS We report 2 cases of intravenous leiomyoma...

Introduction: Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare histologically benign smooth muscle tumor that often originates form uterus and common iliac vein, sometimes extends to the right heart. case report: A rare case diagnosed in catheter-based contrast venography with a pathological finding is described, together with a comparative analysis of all the previous published cases. conclusion: In...

Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of multifocal nodules and tumors composed of proliferating smooth muscle tissue, spread throughout the peritoneum. Estrogens and progesterone are considered to be the main factors initiating the formation of disseminated leiomyomatosis. Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is often asymptomatic, and ...
