Cerebral cystic hemangioblastoma.
A 26-year-old man having a large left frontal lobe cystic mass due to a 1.5 cm capillary hemangioblastoma acting as a mural nodule is presented. The cerebral topographical location of hemangioblastoma is rare and the reported cases are summarized and analyzed. The distinction between hemangioblastoma and angioblastic meningioma is emphasized by the occurrence of a cystic capillary hemangioblastoma in the cerebrum.
