title: Supratentorial hemangioblastoma: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Central nervous system hemangioblastoma is a histologically benign tumor that usually occurs in the cerebellum. Supratentorial hemangioblastomas are exceedingly rare tumors. We present a case of cerebral hemangioblastoma, review the literature on supratentorial hemangioblastoma, and discuss the histologic characteristics and diagnostic difficulties associated with such lesions.
