title: Supratentorial haemangioblastoma without von Hippel-Lindau syndrome in an adult: A rare tumor with review of literature.
abstract: Supratentorial hemangioblastomas (HBLs) are rare, benign vascular tumors of the central nervous system neoplasms. Very scarce literature is available regarding supratentorial HBL without von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome in an adult. We reviewed the literature and PubMed advanced search showed only a few results of supratentorial HBL without VHL syndrome. We reported a rare case of cystic supratentorial HBL in 39-year-old male affecting the parietal lobe without VHL syndrome. Supratentorial HBL is a rare tumor and supratentorial HBL without VHL syndrome are even rarer. Being a rare entity, not much clinical data is currently available regarding supratentorial HBLs, thus necessitating the need for further reporting and review of such cases.
