title: Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.
abstract: We present three members of a Queensland family with clinical and histopathological features consistent with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome. Two of the three family members were able to be screened for associated disorders. The mother of the family was found to have a solitary colonic polyp, a large ovarian cyst and two chorioretinal scars. No associated disorders were found on investigation of one of the two affected sons.
