Abstract
|
|
|
|
Reed syndrome is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease with incomplete penetrance that is characterized by uterine and cutaneous leiomyoma. While the skin tumors are relatively uncommon and benign, women of affected families often develop uterine leiomyoma with associated infertility, pain and bleeding. Here, we report a case of Reed syndrome in a family with multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas. A 30-year-old woman had not only multiple cutaneous leiomyomatosis on cheek and neck, but also uterine multiple leiomyoma. Her mother had lesions that the multiple cutaneous leiomyomatosis on both shoulders and underwent myomectomy for a huge uterine leiomyoma at the age of 45. Her older sister also underwent myomectomy for uterine leiomyoma.
