HLRCC ; Reed syndrome ; Reed’s syndrome WKP
Definition : Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma ( HLRCC ) syndrome ( Reed syndrome ) is an autosomal dominant disorder in which germline mutations of fumarate hydratase (FH) gene confer an increased risk of cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas as well as renal cancer.
HLRCC-associated renal cancer is highly aggressive, and frequently presents as a solitary mass.

19 FebruaryPrimary peritoneal serous carcinoma WKP
Definition : High grade serous carcinoma of the upper genital tract is now divided as ovarian, tubal and primary peritoneal.
It is known that most high grade serous carcinomas originate from a precursor in the tubal epithelium (namely serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma - STIC).
For this reason, for site of origin assignment, any STIC or tubal involvement by carcinoma suffices to classify the case as tubal.
In the absence of tubal (...) -
oral verrucous hyperplasia
15 FebruaryDefinition : Verrucous hyperplasia (VH) is a rare exophytic oral mucosal lesion which can transform into verrucous carcinoma (VC), its malignant but clinically similar counterpart.
Verrucous hyperplasia is a premalignant exophytic oral mucosal lesion with a predominantly verrucous or papillary surface; this lesion can subsequently transform into verrucous carcinoma (VC), a well-established warty variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

spider angioma
10 FebruaryDefinition : Spider angioma refers to a type of telangiectasis that presents slightly beneath the skin surface on the face, neck, arms or upper trunk, often manifesting with a central red spot and reddish extensions that radiate outwards like a spider’s web. The cutaneous spider angioma may be benign but it often indicates abnormal liver function, especially in patients with chronic cirrhosis. The spider angioma is irreversible and rarely occurred diffusely over the body or with giant (...)
