Article Synopsis
- Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) syndrome is an autosomal-dominant genetic disorder linked to mutations in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene, leading to renal cell carcinoma, and benign tumors like leiomyomas.
- A case study describes a man in his 30s who developed a grade 1 leiomyosarcoma after having a kidney removed due to fumarate-deficient RCC, and genetic testing confirmed an FH gene variant.
- This case highlights the rarity of leiomyosarcoma in HLRCC patients and emphasizes the importance of histopathological analysis and monitoring for early intervention.
We report the case of a 61-year-old woman presenting with a subacute eruption of a florid, circinate eruption with peripheral pustules. Histological findings included a neutrophilic intraepidermal pustule with associated acantholysis, and a mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate within the dermis.

The specimen was reported as an infarcted diverticulum containing heterotopic pancreatic mucosa in keeping with infarcted Meckel's diverticulum. We initially wished to establish when the term "Meckel's diverticulum" should be used.
