Abstract

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is characterized by a range of tumors including phaeochromocytomas, pancreatic adenomas, cerebellar haemangioblastomas, and renal cell carcinomas. A 50-year-old male presented with a three-week history of headache. Additionally, the patient exhibited signs of hypertension. Ultrasonography (USG) abdomen and pelvis showed a solid mass lesion in the left adrenal gland, iso-echoic to the renal cortex. On contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the brain, a well-defined solid cystic lesion was seen in the left posterior cerebellar hemisphere. Small nodular enhancing lesions were seen in the right cerebellar hemisphere. On further imaging with MRI brain contrast, the lesions in the cerebellum were diagnosed as multifocal hemangioblastomas. Laboratory investigations revealed elevated urinary metanephrines and normetanephrine, suggesting pheochromocytoma. Based on radiological and biochemical investigations, with the features of cerebellar haemangioblastomas and pheochromocytoma, a diagnosis of VHL syndrome was made.
