ABSTRACT
Hemangioblastoma is an uncommon tumor of the central nervous system, accounting for only 1 % to 2.5% of all intracranial neoplasms. Hemangioblastoma can occur either sporadically or as a manifestation of von Hippel-Lindau diseasean inherited disorder of the autosomal dominant trait-characterized by tumors or tumor-like lesions developing in several organs including angioma of retina, pheochromocytoma, cyst or carcinoma in kidney and pancreas. We have encountered a family in which two male members were histologically diagnosed as suffering from von Hippel-Lindau disease and another male member was clinically suspected of suffering from spinal hemangioblastoma. The pathophysiology and genetic aspect of von Hippel-Lindau disease are discussed with review of literatures.
Key Words: Hemangioblastoma; Von Hippel-Lindau disease; Familial occurrence; Autosomal dominant
