Descriptor hemangioblastoma
Scope note: Tumor benigno del sistema nervioso que puede aparecer esporádicamente o asociado a la ENFERMEDAD DE VON HIPPEL-LINDAU. Constituye aproximadamente el 2 por ciento de los tumores intracraneales y se localiza con mayor frecuencia en los hemisferios cerebelosos y en el vermis. Histológicamente, los tumores están constituidos por múltiples canales capilares y sinusoidales tapizados por células endoteliales, y agregados de células pseudoxantomatosas cargadas de lípidos. Usualmente solitarios, estos tumores pueden ser múltiples y también pueden localizarse en el tronco encefálico, médula espinal, retina, y en el compartimento supratentorial. Los hemangioblastomas cerebelosos suelen aparecer en la tercera década con HIPERTENSIÓN INTRACRANEAL y ataxia. (DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2071-2)

Scope note: A benign tumor of the nervous system that may occur sporadically or in association with VON HIPPEL-LINDAU DISEASE. It accounts for approximately 2% of intracranial tumors, arising most frequently in the cerebellar hemispheres and vermis. Histologically, the tumors are composed of multiple capillary and sinusoidal channels lined with endothelial cells and clusters of lipid-laden pseudoxanthoma cells. Usually solitary, these tumors can be multiple and may also occur in the brain stem, spinal cord, retina, and supratentorial compartment. Cerebellar hemangioblastomas usually present in the third decade with INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION, and ataxia. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2071-2)
