Lung Cysts as Indicator for Birt–Hogg–Dubé Syndrome
Beiträge zur Klinik der Tuberkulose und spezifischen Tuberkulose-Forschung - Tập 192 - Trang 215-216 - 2013
Tóm tắt
In this case, we describe a patient with a history of recurrent pneumothorax. Based on CT-thorax and histopathology of the lung tissue, the Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome was suspected and confirmed after genetic testing. Recognizing this syndrome by pulmonologists and radiologists is very important, because the risk on developing of renal cell cancer is high.
