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]
Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome-associated renal cell carcinoma showing the classically described prominent nucleoli with perinucleolar clearing. H&E stain. (WC/Nephron)
Characteristics:
General
- Autosomal dominant inheritance[3] with variable penetration.[4]
- In one series of 21 families: 62% had renal cancer, 76% had cutaneous leiomyomas and 100% had uterine leiomyomas.[5]
Features - clinical:
- Leiomyomas - high penetrance.
- Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome-associated renal cell carcinoma.
- Often aggressive and significant cause of mortality.[7]
Note:
- The RCC in the past was typically diagnosed as papillary renal cell carcinoma.[8]
