The Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome is a triad of cutaneous lesions including multiple fibrofolliculomas, trichodiscomas, and acrochordons. The inheritance is autosomal dominant in nature. We present a family of three with multiple firm, skin-colored papules in whom the three types of lesions are documented. In addition, we discuss the clinical differential diagnosis of multiple firm, skin-colored papules.

Article Synopsis
- Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a genetic disorder linked to the FLCN gene, causing benign skin lesions, spontaneous lung issues, and an increased risk of kidney tumors.
- A study at the University of Michigan reviewed cases of patients with skin lesions (trichodiscoma and fibrofolliculoma) to evaluate genetics referrals and test results related to BHD.
- Of the 64 patients studied, only 25% were referred for genetic counseling, but among those tested, 64% were diagnosed with BHD, highlighting the importance of early referral for better management of associated conditions.

Spindle Cell-Predominant Trichodiscoma With Palisading Arrangement: A Rare Variant.

Article Synopsis
- Spindle cell-predominant trichodiscoma (SCPT) is a benign skin tumor that typically appears as dome-shaped papules on the face, especially around the nose.
- The variant discussed in the article features a unique palisaded arrangement of spindle cells within a supportive fibromyxoid stroma, setting it apart from other forms of SCPT.
- The study highlights a rare case in a middle-aged man, whose biopsy revealed distinct features that help differentiate this variant from schwannomas, including specific immunohistochemical staining patterns.
