Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a rare inherited autosomal dominant disorder caused by germline mutations in the folliculin (FLCN) gene [1–4]. Patients with BHD initially develop fibrofolliculomas, typically as benign facial tumors, and lung cysts; whereby, increasing their risk to develop renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and pneumothorax [1,3,4]. The majority of the BHD patient population contain germline mutations in FLCN exon 11, a hotspot for disease causing mutations.
