    1. Case 8In 1997, a 19-yr-old man with a familial history for VHL presented with headaches. MRI of the CNS was normal, but ophthalmological examination showed a right retinal hemangioblastoma that was treated by laser. In 2002, he had right nephrectomy and left nephron-sparing surgery for renal cell carcinoma. At age 27, a palpable mass on the left side of the neck was diagnosed during dental care. CT and MRI revealed a 4-cm carotid body tumor that was removed after selective embolization. Histology revealed a paraganglioma. The patient also has pancreatic cysts. Molecular genetics identified the deletion of exons 2 and 3 of the VHL gene.

      CaseHPOFreeText: At 19Y (in 1997), he presented with headaches, ophthalmological examination showed a right retinal hemangioblastoma (treated by laser). 5 years later (age 24Y) he had a right nephrectomy and left nephron-sparing surgery for renal cell carcinoma. Age 27, a palpable mass on the left side of the neck. CT and MRI revealed a 4-cm carotid body tumor (paraganglioma). The patient also has pancreatic cysts.

    1. A 33-year-old Japanese woman had suffered back pain for seven years. She was referred to our institute because multiple solid tumors in the pancreas had gradually increased in size, which was pointed out at 27 years of age. She had a medical history of treatment for a variety of VHLD-associated tumors, including a pancreatic NET surgically resected at 14 years of age, hemangiomas of the fourth ventricle and cervical spinal cord operated at 19 years of age, and a renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney treated by nephrectomy at 30 years of age.

      Case: F, 33Y0M, Japanese

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: Her father and elder brother were also diagnosed with VHLD, with her father having a medical history of two surgical resections for pancreatic NET and associated metastatic recurrence in the liver.

      CaseHPOFreeText: She first developed multiple solid tumors of the pancreas at age 27 and they continued to grow until she was referred to the institute at age 33. She had a pancreatic endocrine tumour at age 14. At age 19, she had hemangiomas of the fourth ventricle and cervical spinal cord and a renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney treated by nephrectomy at 30 years of age.
