Brainstem hemangioblastoma and sellar mass

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a solid cystic tumor in the dorsal medulla. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen-pelvis did not reveal other systemic tumors associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. VHL gene loss causes overexpression of the vascular endothelial grow...

Zusammenfassung:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a solid cystic tumor in the dorsal medulla. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen-pelvis did not reveal other systemic tumors associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. VHL gene loss causes overexpression of the vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and erythropoietin.
