Abstract
FH Tumour Predisposition Syndrome, also known as Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC), or Reed Syndrome, is an autosomal dominant condition clinically characterized by multiple cutaneous leiomyomas, multiple early-onset uterine leiomyomas and early-onset renal cell cancer. Here we report a young female with FH Tumour Predisposition Syndrome with no clinical features except early-onset uterine leiomyomas. Whilst there is a significant history of uterine leiomyomas in her family, there is no history of cutaneous leiomyomas or renal cell cancer (RCC). Uterine leiomyomatosis in young adults may represent a narrow phenotypic variant of FH Tumour Predisposition Syndrome. It is important that young women who present with multiple leiomyomata or leiomyomata with atypical features are referred for molecular genetic testing.Entities:
