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.
