    1. The second patient (case 2) presented with bilateral adrenal pheochromocytomas, the first involving her left adrenal removed at age 23 and the second in her right adrenal removed at age 27. Recurrent disease was indicated 4 years later at age 31 with the onset of renewed signs and symptoms and consistently positive biochemical test results. The patient was referred to the NIH at age 33 at which time diffuse peritoneal metastases were revealed that were too extensive for surgical intervention.

    1. The propositus underwent bilateral adrenalectomy for bilateral pheochromocytoma at age 23 years. Thereafter she remained well until age 54 years when a small vascular lesion, possibly a spinal hemangioblastoma, was identified by a screening MRI. No other central nervous system abnormalities were detected and her ophthalmologic examination was normal. An abdominal ultrasound scan demonstrated a 2.8-cm cyst in the left kidney. A year later she complained of right leg weakness, and slight weakness was confirmed by physical examination. A repeat MRI scan of the spine demonstrated a tiny, avidly enhancing nodule on the dorsal surface of the spinal cord at C3 with a diffuse area of high signal within the cord at that level, similar in appearance to one year prior

      DiseaseAssertion: Assumed VHL

      FamilyInfo: There was no family history of VHL disease or familial pheochromocytoma. Her parents (mother age 85, father age 79) were asymptomatic and were not available for DNA testing. A 58-year-old maternal half-brother was tested and did not carry the mutation.
