Piloleiomiomas múltiples / Multiple piloleyomiomas

Los leiomiomas son tumores infrecuentes, los piloleiomiomas son el tipo clínico más común y puede ser solitario o múltiple; este último puede ser esporádico o familiar. Presentamos un caso clínico de piloleiomiomas múltiples en dorso, en un paciente joven, a quien se le realizaron estudios para descartar una patología asociada.

Leiomyomas are rare tumors, piloleiomyomas are the most common clinical type and can be solitary or multiple which can be sporadic or familial. We report a case of multiple piloleiomyomas in the back of a young patient, in which studies were performed to rule out pathology associated.

Familial leiomyomatosis cutis affecting nine family members in two successive generations including four cases of Reed's syndrome.

Reed's syndrome or familial leiomyomatosis cutis et uteri is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas. We report here a case of a 53-year-old woman who presented to us with multiple painful nodules over different parts of her body. Based on the histopathological examination, imaging, and past medical records, a diagnosis of Reed's syndrome was made. Three of her sisters had similar disease. Subsequently, it was found that a total of nine members of their family in two successive generations were affected with cutaneous leiomyomas. The present case series has been reported for its interesting clinical presentations and rarity.

A Case of Reed's Syndrome / 대한피부과학회지

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.

A Case of Reed's Syndrome(Familial Leiomyomatosis Cutis Et Uteri) / 대한피부과학회지

Reed's syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance that is characterized by uterine and cutaneous leiomyomas. We report a case of Reed's syndrome in a 50-year-old woman. The patient underwent removal of the uterine leiomyoma at the age of 36. Following this the patient noticed development of multiple, cutaneous nodules on both arms at the age of 45. These nodules progressively increased in both number and size, while appearing in other sites. The histopathologic finding of an isolated, single skin lesion showed typical leiomyoma arising from arrector pilorum muscle. Familial history revealed that her father had been affected with similar cutaneous lesions.
