Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome: A Case Report Describing Sonographic Evaluation of Salivary Gland Oncocytomas
Journal Title: American Journal of Sonography - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome is a rare hereditary disorder associated with autosomal dominant hereditary epithelial carcinomas, in which patients have an increased incidence of renal cell carcinomas, scattered hamartomas, pulmonary cysts, and spontaneous pneumothoraces. Other less common findings include lipomas, parathyroid adenomas, salivary gland tumors, and colonic polyps/tumors. Early diagnosis of BHD can help establish renal screening and reduce mortality by early detection and more effective treatment of renal cell carcinoma. This case report describes the sonographic features of salivary gland oncocytomas found in a patient with BHD.
