Von Hippel Lindau disease [VHL]: magnetic resonance imaging spectrum in a single patient.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this case, we describe the wide magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) spectrum in a single patient who had multi organ involvement. Von Hippel Lindau Disease is a rare inherited autosomal dominant disorder characterized by development of benign and malignant lesions involving multiple organs. Imaging plays a vital role in the diagnosis and surveillance of VHL as it can differentiate benign from malignant lesions. The median life expectancy of VHL is 49 years and the commonest cause of death in patients with VHL is renal cell carcinoma and neurologic complication from cerebellar hemangioblastomas.

RATIONALE Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare inherited, autosomal-dominant syndrome caused by heterozygous germline mutations in the VHL gene. VHL patients are prone to develop benign and malignant tumors and cysts in multiple organ systems involving kidneys, pancreas and central nervous system (CNS). The varied and complex clinical manifestations and radiological findings of VHL are of ...

von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant disorder that is associated with germline mutations of VHL tumor suppressor gene, which is located at short arm of chromosome 3. This condition predisposes to the development of various benign and malignant tumors involving multiple organs; the common neoplasms include central nervous system hemangioblastomas (mostly cerebellar and spinal...

von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominantly inherited neoplastic syndrome that increases susceptibility to a variety of benign and malignant neoplasms. It has been well documented that, despite complete excision of initial neoplasms, VHL patients may develop further lesions, in some cases many years after the initial diagnosis. Therefore, the varied and complex clinical manifesta...
