Metastasis of clear-cell renal carcinoma to cerebellar hemangioblastoma in von Hippel Lindau disease: rare or not investigated?
A new case of metastatic hypernephroma to cerebellar hemangioblastoma is described in a patient affected by von Hippel-Lindau disease. To our knowledge this is the third reported case of metastasis of renal carcinoma to intracranial hemangioblastoma associated with Von Hippel-Lindau disease. The real frequency of this pathological entity and its management are not well defined.
