He worked as a maintenance manager, without exposure to pulmonary toxins, and did not report contact with animals. He claimed to have consumed about 200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>g of alcohol per week until a year ago, having been abstinent since then. No smoking or consumption of other street drugs.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">His personal history included hypertension, OSAS treated with CPAP, alcoholic liver disease and multiple skin lesions that appeared 10 years earlier in the form of brownish papules and scars distributed over the face, abdomen, and anterior thoracic region, with no clear diagnosis (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>a).

Lung sections showed cystic lung lesions in the middle lobe, lingula and both lower lobes, most of them subcentimetric (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>c).</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For this reason, he was admitted to hospital 9 months before he was referred to our clinic, performing a CT-guided biopsy of the right kidney, with the anatomical pathology diagnosis of oncocytoma of trabecular morphology. Radiological follow-up was decided, and he was referred to our clinic for lung cysts evaluation.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Given the presence of renal lesions, multiple skin papules and lung cysts, a suspected diagnosis of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) was established. A study of the FLCN gene was requested, identifying a germline variant c.754dupG, p.A252Gfs*40, considered pathogenic and associated with BHD syndrome.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Respiratory function tests were normal except for mild diffusion impairment (DLCO 63%), and a chest CT confirmed the presence of multiple bilateral lung cysts, predominantly in the lower lobes.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient underwent clinical and radiological follow-up by chest-abdominal CT, with no new symptoms or progression of the lesions. A genetic study for BHD syndrome was recommended to his immediate family members.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A lung cyst is a lesion defined as an area of lucency, of round morphology, delimited by a thin wall of less than 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm thick and with a well-defined air/lung interface.

Histologically, they correlate with benign tumours.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">From a nephrological point of view, the BHD syndrome has been associated with the occurrence of kidney tumours between the ages of 25 and 75, which are usually bilateral and multifocal. Regarding anatomical pathology, they are very heterogeneous neoplasms, with the hybrid oncocytoma being the most common type.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Finally, in the lung, the disease is associated with the development of multiple bilateral cysts in most cases.
