Multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomata syndrome (MCUL; MIM 150800) is a rare condition that sometimes predisposes to renal cancer. It is caused by deleterious mutations in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene. In many patients, skin leiomyomas have been reported to develop according to a segmental type 1 or type 2 distribution. We report a patient showing multiple leiomyomas distributed according to a segmental type 2 distribution and covering several areas exclusively on the left side of his body.
