Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) (formerly known as Reed syndrome, multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomatosis, leiomyomatosis cutis et uteri, and multiple leiomyomatosis) is an autosomal dominant syndrome comprising cutaneous leiomyomas, uterine leiomyomas, or renal tumors.
