Abstract
Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by cutaneous lesions and systemic findings such as renal neoplasms, pulmonary cysts, and spontaneous pneumothoraces. Fibrofolliculomas, trichodiscomas, and acrochordons are the most common cutaneous lesions associated with BHD. Some cases with mucocutaneous lesions have also been reported. We report a sclerotic fibroma that developed over a previous thoracotomy scar of a patient with BHD.
