Adrenal leiomyomas are rare, benign tumors originating in the adrenal glands. They have a varied age of presentation, occur with a slight female predominance, and are typically unilateral, although bilateral cases can occur. Symptoms typically include abdominal or flank pain. This report presents a rare case of an 11-year-old male with disseminated molluscum contagiosum, diagnosed with bilateral adrenal leiomyomas. Imaging revealed large, heterogeneous adrenal masses, and the patient underwent successful adrenalectomy. This case underscores the rarity of adrenal leiomyomas in the pediatric population and highlights the critical role of imaging and surgical intervention in their management.

Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) syndrome is caused by heterozygous germline variants in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene [1,2]. Inheritance follows an autosomal dominant pattern. Loss of FH confers a predisposition for various benign and malignant neoplasms, including cutaneous leiomyomas, uterine fibroids and FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma [3].

Summary: Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas and renal cell cancer (RCC). HLRCC is caused by germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene on chromosome 1q42.3, encoding the mitochondrial enzyme responsible for the conversion of fumarate to malate in the Krebs cycle.

Leiomyoma is a rare benign tumour of the urinary bladder. Typically, bladder leiomyomas are treated with transurethral resection, which yields favourable results. We present a clinical case of a 29-year-old man with a symptomatic bladder tumour, initially diagnosed on flexible cystoscopy and CT scan.
