We present a family consisting of a father and his two children with an exceptional phenotype of childhood renal cell carcinoma and brain tumors. Extensive genetic testing revealed two inherited tumor predisposition syndromes in all three family members: Birt‐Hogg‐Dubé syndrome and Li‐Fraumeni syndrome. The corresponding genes (FLCN and TP53) are both located on the short arm of chromosome 17.
