Abstract:
Reed's syndrome is characterized by multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas. The pattern of inheritance is consistent with autosomal dominant transmission. The affected families often reveal uterine leiomyomas and they have a predisposition to renal cell carcinoma. Here, we report a 51 year-old woman diagnosed with Reed's syndrome and renal angiomyolipoma. Due to the possibility of renal cell carcinoma, Reed's syndrome patients should be evaluated on the basis of renal disease.
