Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (abbreviated HLRCC), also hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer, is an uncommon syndrome caused by fumarate hydratase (FH) gene mutations.[1]

General

HLRCC is classically described as:[2]

Clinical:

  • Leiomyomas seen in almost all patients.
  • The associated renal cell carcinoma is often aggressive and significant cause of mortality.[3]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Large eosinophilic nucleolus with perinucleolar clearing - proposed hallmark - important.
    • May be focal.
  • Variable architecture:
    • Papillary - classic description.
    • Tubulopapillary.
    • Tubular.
    • Solid.

DDx:

IHC

  • 2SC +ve -- cytoplasmic,[4] cytoplasmic and nuclear.[3]
    • 2SC = S-(2-succino)-cysteine.
