Multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomatosis: Reed's syndrome

Reed's syndrome (RS) is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder characterised by multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas, with a strong tendency for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) development. A woman in her 50s, who had previously undergone total abdominal hysterectomy due to multiple uterine leiomyomas, presented with painful nodules on her trunk and right arm for the past 6 years. These nodules were confirmed as leiomyomas through histopathology. Diagnosis of RS was established through clinicopathological correlation and positive family history, particularly her mother's. Early-onset uterine leiomyomas in patients with a similar family history should raise suspicion for RS, necessitating vigilant long-term follow-up. RCC detection requires mandatory renal imaging. Screening family members and providing genetic counselling are crucial.
