    1. A 38-year-old male patient visited the Department of Urology at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College on 27 April 2015, due to the detection of a mass in the right kidney during physical examination. The patient had previously undergone extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in February 2010 at Changzheng Hospital (Zunyi, China) for the treatment of kidney stones (details are unknown). There was no history of hypertension, infectious diseases or allergy.

      PatientID: II-4

      KindredID: 3

      Case: M, 38Y0M, Chinese

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: The patient's mother (I-2) died as a result of pancreatic cancer. The eldest sister of the patient (II-1) underwent surgery for a brain tumor and had pancreatic and renal cysts. Another sister (II-2) underwent surgery for breast cancer. The patient's two sons (III-6 and III-7) were found to harbour their father's VHL mutation. See Figure 3 for family pedigree.

      CaseHPOFreeText: The patient was treated for kidney stones at age 33. At age 38 he was found to have a mass in the right kidney. Upper abdominal CT revealed the presence of multiple nodules and lumpy low-density areas in the left and right kidneys with uneven density. Multiple round low-density lesions were observed in the left and right kidneys, and in the pancreas. Brain CT revealed no abnormalities, but sphenoiditis was observed on the right side. Thoracic MRI revealed a round-shaped mixed signal (diameter, 12.0 mm) in the sixth thoracic vertebra. Contrast-enhanced scanning revealed minor enhancement, which appeared to indicate the presence of a hemangioma. Postoperative pathological analysis confirmed that the tumor was a clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

    1. Both affected family members were heterozygous for the c.340 + 1 G > A mutation, located at the first exon-intron junction.

      Case: F, 38Y0M, Hungarian

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: Family C consists of two parents and their two daughters. Patient's 14 year old daughter (see patient 4) shares the same mutation as him. She developed a retinal angioma at 12 years of age and a spinal cord hemangioma was detected at 14 years. The mother and the other daughter were free from any manifestations of the disease and showed no mutations in the VHL gene.

      CaseHPOFreeText: Radiological investigations detected bilateral kidney tumors, a cerebellar and a spinal cord hemangioma at 34 years of age. Histological analysis of the kidney verified RCC. Four years later (38 years of age), retinal angioma developed in both of his eyes.

    1. A female patient observed reduced vision in the right eye at age 17 years. She was diagnosed with retinal angiomatosis of the right eye. Laser therapy and brachytherapy were performed. Vision of the right eye remained reduced to 15%. At age 24, a hemangioblastoma of the cervical spinal cord was resected. At age 27, she underwent craniotomy for a cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Genetic testing revealed the mutation VHL c.394 C > T, which predict a truncated VHL protein (Q132X). In 2007, a 20 mm diameter left renal tumor was detected but not resected owing to its small size, as internationally recommended [1].In 2009 at age 38, abdominal MRI and CT angiography showed, in the axial view, a solid, 3.6 × 3.3 cm tumor of the pancreatic tail (Fig. 2a). Early arterial phase imaging after contrast injection revealed that the tumor had significant hyperperfusion. In addition, multiple pancreatic cysts were noted.
