Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HL (RCC)) entails cutaneous and uterine leiomyomatosis with aggressive type 2 papillary RCC-like histology. HLRCC is caused by pathogenic variants in the FH gene, which encodes fumarate hydratase (FH). Here, we describe an episode of young-onset RCC caused by a genomic FH deletion that was diagnosed via clinical sequencing. A 35-year-old woman was diagnosed with RCC and multiple metastases: histopathological analyses supported a diagnosis of FH-deficient RCC. Although the patient had neither skin tumors nor a family history of HLRCC, an aggressive clinical course at her age and pathological diagnosis of FH-deficient RCC suggested a germline FH variant. After counseling, the patient provided written informed consent for germline genetic testing. She was simultaneously subjected to paired tumor profiling tests targeting the exome to identify a therapeutic target. Although conventional germline sequencing did not detect FH variants, exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous germline FH deletion. As such, paired tumor profiling, not conventional sequencing, was required to identify this genetic deletion. RCC caused by a germline FH deletion has hitherto not been described in Japan, and the FH deletion detected in this patient was presumed to be of maternal European origin. Although the genotype-phenotype correlation in HLRCC-related tumors is unclear, the patient's family was advised to undergo genetic counseling to consider additional RCC screening.
