Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a recently discovered autosomal-dominant disease caused by a mutation in the folliculin gene. We report a patient with familial spontaneous pneumothorax who was found to have BHD syndrome. Patients with a personal and family history of pneumothoraces and computed tomographic (CT) findings of multiple pulmonary cysts should alert the thoracic surgeon to this syndrome; additional evaluation and testing may be warranted.
Birt-Hogg-Dubé（BHD）综合征是一种最近发现的常染色体显性遗传病，由滤泡素基因的突变引起。我们报告了一例家族性自发性气胸患者，该患者被诊断为 BHD 综合征。有气胸个人和家族史以及计算机断层扫描（CT）显示多发性肺囊肿的患者应引起胸外科医生对该综合征的警惕；可能需要进一步评估和检查。
