Follow-up report on pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoma in a patient with von Hippel–Lindau disease

With the increasing opportunities for medical management of von Hippel–Lindau (VHL)-related lesions, fundamental questions are arising regarding the possibilities of the FDA-approved medication (Belzutifan) to delay the progression of other non-VHL-related tumors that are not requiring urgent surgical interventions. We present a follow-up report on a VHL patient, with a co-morbid history of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, who was initially described in the clinical scientific literature ~10 years ago. This patient’s case highlights some of the challenges for some VHL patients with comorbid non-VHL-related tumors and potential opportunities for targeted support.
