Core Tip |
Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder. The non-specific nature of its symptoms often results in frequent misdiagnoses and overlooked cases. In this report, we describe a patient with BHD syndrome who presented solely with multiple pulmonary bullae and pneumothorax. This case serves as a focal point for an in-depth discussion regarding the diagnosis, clinical presentation, prognosis, and management strategies for BHD syndrome. |
