The authors report the case of an isolated supratentorial hemangioblastoma occurring in a woman operated on for a cerebellar hemangioblastoma twenty years before. The data furnished by immunohistochemical technics don't seem to be deciding and don't work out the problem of hemangioblastoma histogenesis.

Background: Hemangioblastomas (HBs) are rare, benign central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms that rarely occur in the supratentorial. Resection with the goal of gross total resection (GTR) is often considered the primary treatment. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been utilized more commonly in unresectable or partially resected cases.

Background: Adult hemangioblastomas (HBs) are rare World Health Organization central nervous system (CNS) grade 1 tumors, particularly affecting the posterior cranial fossa. They exhibit a gender bias, impacting men in their fifth and sixth decades of life and manifesting sporadically or as part of von Hippel Lindau disease. Understanding the intricacies of CNS HBs is crucial for clinical decision-making.

We report a patient with whole neuroaxis dissemination of a sporadic supratentorial hemangioblastoma (HB) for more than 15 years. A 68-year-old female patient presented with severe radiating pain in the right leg. Gadolinium-enhanced lumbar spine MRI showed an intradural mass (2.

Collision tumors are rarely reported in patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, even though VHL patients often present with multi-organ tumor syndromes, like hemangioblastoma and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Hemangioblastoma is rarely located in a supratentorial location, and intracranial lateral ventricular is also not a common site of metastasis for RCC. It is extremely rare for the two tumors to collide in the supratentorial area.

Supratentorial hemangioblastomas are rare, vascular lesions. The presence of peri-tumoral cysts and edema has meaningful clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic implications. Nevertheless, the pathogenesis of both cyst and edema formation is not fully understood.
