“…First documented in the 1970s, Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is caused by a mutation in the folliculin (FCLN) coding gene. Pulmonary cysts presenting with spontaneous pneumothoraxes and fibrofolliculomas are the most typical manifestations [1,2]. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), while not as common, remains the most serious manifestation of the condition.…”

Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by multiple pulmonary cysts, fibrofolliculomas, and renal cell carcinoma. The typical presentations leading to diagnosis include fibrofolliculomas and spontaneous pneumothoraxes. We present a case of a 52-year-old Chinese male who was diagnosed with BHDS after the incidental pickup of an echogenic heterogenous lesion on an abdominal ultrasound done to investigate an abnormal liver function test. The presence of renal cell carcinoma with cystic pulmonary disease should prompt the clinician to consider the diagnosis of BHDS. Knowledge of extrapulmonary findings of common cystic lung diseases may contribute to improved diagnosis of this condition.
