Case report: Going through pregnancy safely after twice partial nephrectomy for bilateral kidneys with HLRCC-associated RCC.

ABSTRACT:

Background

HLRCC-associated RCC (hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer-associated renal cell carcinoma) caused by germline mutations of the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene is a rare autosomal dominant genetic renal cancer.
