  • Title: Spontaneous pneumothorax due to Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome in a Chinese family.
    Author: So SY.
    Journal: Respirology; 2009 Jul; 14(5):775-6. PubMed ID: 19659657.
    Abstract:
    A Chinese woman presented with a spontaneous pneumothorax and a family history suggestive of the autosomal dominant transmission of pneumothorax. The patient also had skin fibrofolliculomas and folliculin gene deletion, compatible with Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome. The importance of BHD syndrome and other familial spontaneous pneumothoraces is discussed.
