ABSTRACT
Hemangioblastomas are angioblastic tumors of the central nervous system. Cerebellar hemangioblastomas are traditionally classified into two morphologic types-cystic and solid. Cystic hemangioblastomas are associated with peritumoral edema, but solid hemangioblastomas are not. We report a case of solid cerebellar hemangioblastoma with massive peritumoral edema. An 83-year-old female visited our hospital due to a sudden headache. Five years ago, she had been admitted to our hospital with similar headache and diagnosed with cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Follow-up brain MRI 5 years later showed an increased size of a homogeneous enhancing mass with aggravated peritumoral edema in the left lower cerebellar hemisphere. Cerebral angiography showed a highly vascularized mass in the cerebellum, which was compatible with a solid-type hemangioblastoma.
