This condition is complex due to its involvement of multiple body systems, including the gastrointestinal tract, the visual system, and the urinary system. The exact cause of Leiomyomatosis of Esophagus Cataract Hematuria is not well understood, but it is believed to involve genetic and environmental factors.
