BACKGROUND Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma is an uncommon autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene. They usually demonstrated multiple uterine myomas and preformed surgical procedures for myomectomy and/or hysterectomy 10 years earlier than sporadic myomas due to early development. This case report describes a woman with multiple uterine leiomyomas diagnosed with FH deficiency. METHODS A 37-year-old woman visited a gynecological clinic for the discovery of uterine leiomyoma for more than 1 year. The size of the largest grew from 42 × 27 × 46 to 98 × 85 × 113 mm in 1 year. She had a history of surgery for breast cancer and thyroid cancer but denied a history of uterine leiomyoma in her family. METHODS The patient underwent successful transabdominal hysterectomy. The pathological results showed multiple uterine leiomyomas (partly cellular leiomyomas) with scattered large bizarre giant cells. Immunohistochemistry results demonstrated FH deficiency. RESULTS On follow-up, the patient did not have any complications. She was finally referred to the oncologists and urologists for follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Gynecologists should be aware that early onset uterine leiomyoma presenting as large, multiple, and symptomatic lesion, may be associated with FH deficiency.

D007889 Leiomyoma A benign tumor derived from smooth muscle tissue, also known as a fibroid tumor. They rarely occur outside of the UTERUS and the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT but can occur in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE, probably arising from the smooth muscle of small blood vessels in these tissues.

D009386 Neoplastic Syndromes, Hereditary The condition of a pattern of malignancies within a family, but not every individual's necessarily having the same neoplasm. Characteristically the tumor tends to occur at an earlier than average age, individuals may have more than one primary tumor, the tumors may be multicentric, usually more than 25 percent of the individuals in direct lineal descent from the proband are affected, and the cancer predisposition in these families behaves as an autosomal dominant trait with about 60 percent penetrance.
