Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome (abbreviated HLRCC), also hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer, is an uncommon syndrome caused by fumarate hydratase (FH) gene mutations.[1][2]

HLRCC is classically described as:[3]
- Papillary renal cell carcinoma type 2.
- Benign leiomyomas skin/uterus.
- Uterine leiomyosarcoma.
General
- Autosomal dominant inheritance[4] with variable penetration.[5]
- In one series of 21 families: 62% renal cancer, 76% had cutaneous leiomyomas and 100% had uterine leiomyomas.[6]
Clinical:
- Leiomyomas seen in many patients.
- Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome-associated renal cell carcinoma.
- Often aggressive and significant cause of mortality.[8]
