Abstract:
Patients with hereditary syndromes with renal tumors initially may present to the dermatologist. It is essential that dermatologists recognize these syndromes because the early diagnosis of renal cancer may prove to be lifesaving. The 4 hereditary syndromes with cutaneous manifestations are von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome, tuberous sclerosis (TS), and hereditary leiomyoma renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) syndrome. This article reviews these disorders, emphasizing their cutaneous features and renal manifestations.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...
