Cerebellar haemangioblastoma and genitourinary tumours.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a series of 24 patients with cerebellar haemangioblastoma two subsequently developed renal carcinoma and one was found to have an epididymal tumour. The association between renal carcinoma and cerebellar haemangioblastoma is discussed. Repeated investigation of the genitourinary tract is advised in all cases of cerebellar haemangioblastoma to detect renal carcinoma before metastases have developed.

Statistical analysis of the two stage mutation model in von Hippel-Lindau disease, and in sporadic cerebellar haemangioblastoma and renal cell carcinoma.
Analysis of the age incidence curves for unilateral and bilateral retinoblastoma led Knudson to propose that hereditary tumours may arise by a single event and sporadic tumours by a two stage mutation process. It has been suggested recently that sporadic renal cell carcinoma may arise from a two stage mutation process. We analysed the age incidence curves for symptomatic renal cell carcinoma (n...

At necropsy the spinal cords in both cases and the brainstem in one case, were irregularly plastered with haemangioblastoma. Although there was no doubt that malignant spread had ...

We present a case of a 35-year-old man with obstructive hydrocephalus due to multiple posterior fossa tumours. Familial history revealed two relatives operated on previously because of ...
متن کاملAngioblastic meningioma with hepatic metastasis.

In 1963, Glasauer and Yuan reviewed the 88 reported cases of metastatic intracranial tumours of which approximately two-fifths were meningiomas. This report concerns an angioblastic meningioma with a large hepatic metastasis. Cushing's original classification of angioblastic meningiomas and the differential diagnosis betwee...
