title: FDG PET/CT detects clinically occult pancreatic cancer in a case of Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
abstract: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare, inherited, multisystem disorder that is characterized by development of a variety of benign and malignant tumors. We report an incidental detection of clinically occult pancreatic malignancy on FDG PET/CT in a patient of VHL who underwent restaging for a previously treated endolymphatic sac tumor.
