Pituitary Stalk Hemangioblastoma in a von Hippel-Lindau Patient : Clinical Course Follow-Up Over a 20-Year Period
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supratentorial hemangioblastomas (HBs) are rare, and pituitary stalk HBs are extremely uncommon; therefore, pituitary stalk evaluation is often overlooked. Herein, we report the development of pituitary stalk HB over a 20-year period and the importance of regular long-term follow up for patients with HBs.

HBs most commonly arise in the cerebellum but also occur in the spinal cord and medulla. They occur sporadically as solitary lesions or in association with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease and are usually multiple. HBs can arise in the supraten...

Hemangioblastomas are sporadic tumors found in the cerebellum or spinal cord. Supratentorial hemangioblastomas are rare, and those with meningeal involvement are extremely rare and have been reported in only approximately 130 patients. Here, we report the case of a 51-year-old female patient with supratentorial meningeal hemangioblastoma detected 5 years after surgical resection of an infratent...
