Cerebellar Hemangioblastoma- A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Cerebellar hemangioblastomas are rare neoplasms of cerebellum with uncertain histogenesis classified under WHO grade I category. Most of these lesions are sporadic and few of them though rare, are associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL). We report a case of cerebellar hemangioblastoma in a 31years old male who presented with headache and vomiting. MRI showed a cystic lesion in the cerebellum. Intraoperative squash cytology was suggestive of a vascular neoplasm. Histopathological examinationof the tumor was done and a diagnosis of cerebellar hemangioblastoma was given. Immunohistochemistry using NSE and CD31 revealed positivity and confirmed the diagnosis. The clinical radiological and histopathological and immunohistochemical findings were discussed.
