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.
