    1. A 78-year-old woman had a history of hypertension from her forties. She suffered from headache and body weight loss. Abdominal CT revealed bilateral adrenal tumors and right external renal tumors enhanced in early stage. MIBG scintigraphy exhibited a high accumulation of tracer in both adrenal glands. On the basis of the radiographic findings and endocrinological results, the patient was diagnosed as having bilateral pheochromocytomas and right renal cell carcinoma. A bilateral adrenectomy was performed, followed by surgery for resection of the renal cell carcinoma. The other resected right kidney showed a clear cell subtype that was determined to be renal cell carcinoma, and proved that the pelvic tumor was transient cell carcinoma. Spinal MRI showed spinal hemangioblastoma.

      CaseHPOFreeText: The patient presented with a 3 year history of unstable blood pressure, headache, and chest oppression. The patient had been suffering from hypertension for 35 years. Upon initial examination, she was diagnosed with bilateral adrenal pheochromocytomas, right renal cell carcinoma, and right pelvic carcinoma (transient cell carcinoma). The blood pressure of the patient decreased after the operation, but returned to its preoperative level one month later. Two months after the initial diagnosis, the patient was diagnosed with spinal hemangioblastoma and primary hyperthyroidism. The calcium serum levels of the patient decreased after the operation, but returned to its preoperative level one month later.

    1. We report two young male twins with simultaneously manifesting haemangioblastomas of the right cerebellar hemisphere. In one, the neoplasm was associated with medullary and spinal cord solid tumours; in the other, with a nasopharyngeal bleeding fibroangioma, an association not described previously.

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo:  2 young male twins were examined with the VHL gene mutation with simultaneously manifesting hemangioblastomas of the right cerebellar hemisphere. Both parents were examined with no VHL mutation, detecting a de novo mutation in the twins. A third sibling, two years older, presented with a cafè au lait skin spot. Grand mother had bilateral high myopia and glaucoma. The medical history of the pedigree shows that member (I-1) had severe hypertension and died at 60 from a stroke, member (I-2) died at 40 from ovarian carcinoma, and member (I-3) died at 54 from clinically diagnosed intracerebral haemorrhage.

      CaseHPOFreeText: in 1994 patient came complaining of blurred vision thought to be due to his myopia. MRI showed a large cyst and a 4.3 cm mural ovoid nodule in the right cerebellar hemisphere. Another small mural nodule was present in the infero-posterolateral portion of the right cerebellar hemisphere. CT disclosed a round homogeneous, hyperintense nodule at T1 in the spinal cord. Raised intracranial pressure due to the compression of aqueduct from the tumour accounted for hydrocephalus and enlarged lateral and 3rd ventricles.
