Imaging manifestations of von Hippel-Lindau disease: a report of 3 cases

摘要

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal-dominant hereditary familial neoplasm syndrome characterized by development of a variety of benign and malignant tumors in multiple organ systems, such as the brain, kidney, pancreas, adrenal gland, and epididymis, with a prevalence of one in 39000-53000. Hallmarks of the condition include retinal angiomas, hemangioblastomas of the cerebellum and the spinal cord, renal cell carcinoma and cysts, and pheochromocytomas. In this article, we report imaging findings in three cases of VHL disease.
