Supratentorial capillary hemangioblastoma presenting with fatal spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage from a supratentorial capillary hemangioblastoma resulting in the death of a 26-year-old woman is reported. We suggest that the presence of glial fibrillary acidic protein containing stromal cells in the tumor tissue may serve as a point distinguishing hemangioblastoma from angioblastic meningioma.
