Abstract

Authors described clinical manifestations and pathologic features of 4 cases with hemangioblastomas arising in the cerebellum(3 cases) and upper cervical cord(one case). One of the four satisfied criteria of Lindau's disease characterized by multiple cerebellar hemangioblastomas associated with renal and pancreatic cysts. Two cerebellar and one spinal cord hemangioblastomas were solitary. The three cerebellar tumors were cystic with mural nodules, and the spinal cord tumor was solid. No history of familial occurrence was obtained in the cases reported.
