Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome is an inherited condition, characterised by the development of fibrofolliculomas (benign skin tumours), pulmonary cysts and pneumothorax (collapsed lung), and predisposition to kidney cancers.

In January 2022 M4RD featured BHD on #MysteryMonday, covering the basics to help medics and HCPs be more aware of this condition.  You can view the highlights here.
