Spinal haemangioblastoma associated with syringomyelia and multiple lung lesions.
Haemangioblastomas involving the spinal cord are uncommon but by no means unknown. It is well established that haemangioblastomas of the central nervous system are commonly associated with lesions in the retinae and in various abdominal organs. The simultaneous occurrence of similar tumours in the lung is less common and not well recognized. The case of a man with a haemangioblastoma of the spinal cord with many small haemangioblastomas of the lung is reported here.
