This review covers the molecular basis of Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and its implications for potential therapeutic targets, but it does not report new experimental results.

This study identifies comedonal or cystic fibrofolliculomas as novel diagnostic clues for earlier recognition of Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, potentially facilitating timely surveillance of associated systemic complications.

This article reports on three new cases of Birt–Hogg–Dubé Syndrome and emphasizes the role of genetic analysis in its diagnosis due to clinical challenges.

This report suggests that patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax should be evaluated for FLCN mutations, as they may indicate Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and associated cancer risks.

This review discusses recent insights into Birt–Hogg–Dube syndrome, including the functions of the FLCN gene and clinical recommendations for screening and treatment, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this clinical case report, a man with Birt Hogg Dube syndrome presented with parathyroid cancer, the first such case according to the authors, highlighting a potential link between Folliculin gene mutations and parathyroid cancer development.

This review summarizes current knowledge about Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, discussing recent findings on its pathogenesis and treatment, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize understanding its cutaneous manifestations.

This article discusses the pulmonary manifestations of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, noting diagnostic challenges in differentiating it from other lung conditions, and underlines the need for further research on folliculin's role in cyst formation.

This case report documents a 63-year-old with Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome who developed choroidal melanoma alongside multiple lid folliculomas, marking the first known association of these conditions.

This letter discusses how differentiating features in clinical and radiological findings can help distinguish pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome from lymphangioleiomyomatosis, noting overlapping symptoms but specific distinctive traits.

This case report describes a 5-year-old boy with a solitary patch of hair loss, potentially linked to a fungal infection after antibiotic treatment showed minimal effectiveness.

This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.

This study found a rare germline mutation in the Birt–Hogg–Dubé gene in a Japanese patient with renal cell carcinoma, suggesting distinct biological features and challenging current renal tumor classifications.

This study suggests that folliculin, mutated in Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, and its partner FNIP1 may play a role in energy and nutrient sensing through the AMPK and mTOR pathways.

This study found that FLCN deficiency in mice muscles led to increased mitochondrial biogenesis and a metabolic shift towards oxidative phosphorylation, with a similar advantage observed in FLCN-null kidney cancer cells.

This study suggests that the interaction between folliculin and plakophilin-4 (p0071) may play a role in folliculin's tumor suppressor function by regulating RhoA signaling, impacting cell migration and junction formation.

This article describes a case of multiple perifollicular fibromas and suggests that cases previously reported as such might actually be instances of Birt‐Hogg‐Dubé syndrome.

This study developed a kidney-specific knockout mouse model lacking the Flcn gene, which recapitulates human Birt-Hogg-Dubé kidney tumorigenesis and shows that mTOR pathway inhibition with rapamycin can suppress tumor growth.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of a solitary fibrofolliculoma in the right lower eyelid of a 50-year-old man, confirmed through histopathological examination.

This study found that folliculin deficient renal cancer cells were more sensitive to irradiation due to increased autophagic cell death, suggesting a potentially enhanced therapeutic approach when combined with autophagy inducers like rapamycin.

This case report describes a 40-year-old woman with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome diagnosed with multiple chromophobe renal cell carcinomas, highlighting the importance of recognizing associated dermatologic lesions for early intervention.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.

This case report describes a solitary nasal fibrofolliculoma in a 60-year-old male and reviews existing literature, indicating its rare occurrence and potential link with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome.

This report describes a case study of a 23-year-old female exhibiting multiple trichodiscomas, a type of benign tumor of the hair follicular discs common in familial cases and potentially linked to Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, though genetic testing was not performed due to financial constraints.

This report describes a clinical case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, confirmed by genetic testing, highlighting the presentation of multiple renal tumors and bilateral lung cysts.

This report describes a case of Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome with manifestations including multiple fibrofolliculomas, acrochordons, and renal oncocytoma.

This study found that autophagy is impaired in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome-associated renal tumors and identified that the FLCN protein interacts with key autophagy components regulated by ULK1.

This case report describes a patient with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome exhibiting multiple fibrofolliculomas, acrochordons, and renal oncocytoma.

In this case report, a 24-year-old male with a translucent nodule in the left nasolabial fold was diagnosed with a solitary fibrofolliculoma with cystic changes upon histopathology, emphasizing the rarity and potential for misdiagnosis of these benign cutaneous tumors.

This review discusses various treatment options for adult female acne, highlighting the need for tailored approaches due to individual patient needs and reports no clinical outcomes.
