• Following assessment of the patient at a tertiary hospital's genetics clinic, a provisional diagnosis of BHD syndrome was made for her bilateral renal cysts and notable skin lesions (biopsy of one of these lesions however was reported as milia). (bmj.com)

Diagnosis4

• Hereditary renal cell carcinoma syndromes: diagnosis, surveillance and management. (nih.gov)
• median age of renal tumor diagnosis is 48 years. (nih.gov)
• According to guidelines for the diagnosis of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) published by the European Birt-Hogg-Dubé consortium [ Menko et al 2009 ], one major or two minor criteria are necessary for the diagnosis. (nih.gov)
• The diagnosis of Birt Hogg Dubé syndrome is usually based on clinical criteria, with genetic testing of the FLCN performed to confirm the diagnosis and allow predictive testing of blood relatives. (sydneycancergenetics.com.au)

Significantly1

• Much has been learned from the long-term management of VHL patients, where the refinement and selective implementation of nephron-sparing surgical techniques and minimally invasive approaches, such as cryotherapy and radiofrequency ablation has been shown to lower morbidity, the risk of metastasis, and the need for hemodialysis or renal transplant, each associated with significantly higher morbidity and mortality ( 8 ). (aacrjournals.org)

Association1

• The description of phaeochromocytoma in relation to or association with BHD syndrome is scarce in the literature, hence the usefulness of this case report to shed light on this unexplored association. (bmj.com)
