Characterization of endolymphatic sac tumors and von Hippel-Lindau disease in the International Endolymphatic Sac Tumor Registry.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Endolymphatic sac tumors (ELSTs) are, with a prevalence of up to 16%, a component of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Data from international registries regarding heritable fraction and characteristics, germline VHL mutation frequency, and prevalence are lacking. METHODS Systematic registration of ELSTs from international centers of otorhinolaryngology and from multidisciplinary VHL centers' registries was performed. Molecular genetic analyses of the VHL gene were offered to all patients. RESULTS Our population-based registry comprised 93 patients with ELST and 1789 patients with VHL. The prevalence of VHL germline mutations in apparently sporadic ELSTs was 39%. The prevalence of ELSTs in patients with VHL was 3.6%. ELST was the initial manifestation in 32% of patients with VHL-ELST. CONCLUSION Prevalence of ELST in VHL disease is much lower compared to the literature. VHL-associated ELSTs can be the first presentation of the syndrome and mimic sporadic tumors, thus emphasizing the need of molecular testing in all presentations of ELST. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Endolymphatic sac tumours and von Hippel-Lindau disease - case report, molecular analysis and histopathological characterization.
Endolymphatic sac tumours (ELST) are aggressive papillary tumours of the temporal bone. The name was finally determined after the endolymphatic sac was determined as the site of their origin. They should be considered in patients with tumours eroding the petrous part of the temporal bone, extending to the cerebellopontine angle or other adjacent structures. These very rare tumours in the genera...

A 29-year-old male patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease who had an operation for cerebellar hemangioblastoma six years ago is presented. The patient had a four-year history of a slow-growing, locally invasive vascularized lesion of the temporal bone involving the cerebellopontine angle. The mass, studied by MR imaging, was almost completely cystic in appearance. Pathological examination after...
متن کاملEndolymphatic sac tumor.
Endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) is a papillary epithelial neoplasm arising within the endolymphatic sac/duct that shows a high association with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL). There is usually a VHL tumor suppressor gene germline mutation with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Approximately 1 in 35,000 to 40,000 people have VHL, of which approximately 10 to 15% have endolymphatic sac t...

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare type of oncological disease with an incidence of 1/36,000 individuals in the general population [1,2]. The most frequent tumors are hemangioblastomas (HB) of the central nervous system (CNS) and retina, as well as renal cell carcinoma [3,4]. In addition, pheochromocytomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, pancreatic serous cystoadenomas, endolymphatic ...
