[A supratentorial hemangioblastoma]

Abstract

A case of supratentorial hemangioblastoma combined with two hemangiomas of the liver without manifestation of von Hippel-Lindau disease is presented. The cerebral cystic hemangioblastoma was localized in the right parietal lobe and contained a calcified area but no visible mural solid nodules. The CT and MRT differential diagnosis (arachnoidal cyst, glioma, Echinococcosis, hamartoma and metastasis) is discussed, and the literature on the subject is reviewed.
