CN375946
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: BHD1; FIBROFOLLICULOMAS WITH TRICHODISCOMAS AND ACROCHORDONS
 
Gene (location): FLCN (17p11.2)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0800445

Clinical features

From HPO
Renal cell carcinoma
MedGen UID:
766
Concept ID:
C0007134
Neoplastic Process
A type of carcinoma of the kidney with origin in the epithelium of the proximal convoluted renal tubule.
Renal neoplasm
MedGen UID:
5967
Concept ID:
C0022665
Neoplastic Process
The presence of a neoplasm of the kidney.
Fibrofolliculoma
MedGen UID:
138032
Concept ID:
C0346011
Neoplastic Process
Fibrofolliculoma is a clinically asymptomatic, 2-4 mm, skin-colored, dome-shaped smooth papule. It usually arises in the form of multiple lesions in adults in different areas such as the scalp, forehead, face, and neck. According to histology, the lesion is a fibrotic hamartoma characterized by infundibular epithelial proliferation and perifollicular fibrous proliferation.
Cutaneous leiomyoma
MedGen UID:
87533
Concept ID:
C0346064
Neoplastic Process
The presence of leiomyoma of the skin.
Cutaneous leiomyosarcoma
MedGen UID:
87534
Concept ID:
C0346067
Neoplastic Process
The presence of leiomyosarcoma of the skin.
Multiple lipomas
MedGen UID:
677074
Concept ID:
C0745730
Finding
The presence of multiple lipomas (a type of benign tissue made of fatty tissue).
Renal cyst
MedGen UID:
854361
Concept ID:
C3887499
Disease or Syndrome
A fluid filled sac in the kidney.
Colon cancer
MedGen UID:
2839
Concept ID:
C0007102
Neoplastic Process
A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the colon. Representative examples include carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma.
Large intestinal polyposis
MedGen UID:
868164
Concept ID:
C4022556
Disease or Syndrome
The presence of multiple polyps in the large intestine.
Spontaneous pneumothorax
MedGen UID:
57701
Concept ID:
C0149781
Disease or Syndrome
Pneumothorax occurring without traumatic injury to the chest or lung.
Cystic disease of lung
MedGen UID:
640840
Concept ID:
C0555214
Disease or Syndrome
Polycystic lung disease (PCLUD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by childhood-onset exertional dyspnea and cough due to progressive airflow obstruction in the lungs. Pulmonary imaging shows diffuse lung disease with pleural and subpleural cysts and peripheral consolidations, and lung biopsy shows bronchiolitis and lymphocytosis of the terminal bronchioles, often with features of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). Most affected individuals have recurrent respiratory infections; some have an adverse response to BCG vaccination. Additional features may include digital clubbing, allergies, and atopic dermatitis (et al., 2024).
Sebaceous hyperplasia
MedGen UID:
98352
Concept ID:
C0406484
Disease or Syndrome
A common, benign skin condition involving hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands characterized by single or multiple lesions that manifest as yellow, soft, small papules with umbilication. The lesions are located commonly on the central face (specifically, the nose, cheeks and forehead) but may also occur elsewhere, including the chest, mouth, scrotum, foreskin, penile shaft, vulva, and areola.
Trichodiscoma
MedGen UID:
352818
Concept ID:
C1704237
Neoplastic Process
A small benign fibrovascular tumor of the dermal part of the hair disk. Trichodiscoma is rather simple in appearance and consists of a dome-shaped fibrous tumor with a prominent vascular component that fills the papillary dermis under an atrophic epidermis. As in a normal hair disk, a hair follicle may be present at one edge of the papular lesion.
