Imaging Features of von Hippel–Lindau Disease: A Case Report

Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare, genetically transmitted multisystemic disorder. It is characterized by benign and malignant tumors appearing in the central nervous system, and a variety of intra abdominal organs. It is generally revealed during adulthood; however, if the disease is suspected, the surveillance should start in a young age. Imaging has a major role in the diagnosis and surveillance of the various abnormalities that can be found in this disease.
