Core Tip

Core Tip: Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome involves multiple organs and systems of the human body, with complex and diverse clinical manifestations. In addition, physicians lack sufficient knowledge and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this rare disease. This case highlights the importance of establishing a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment platform for the clinical diagnosis and treatment process, which is of great significance for the accurate identification of BHD.
