Treatment of cutaneous leiomyomas with 5% lidocaine patches in a patient with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (Reed syndrome)

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. The cutaneous leiomyomas of HLRCC are classically painful and difficult to treat. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of cutaneous leiomyomas symptomatically treated with 5% lidocaine patches.
