Abstract

Hemangioblastoma is a benign tumor of vascular origin that develops usually in the posterior cranial fossa. We report a case of supratentorial leptomeningeal hemangioblastoma occurring in a 45-year-old man who received total removal of recurrent cerebellar hemangioblastoma four years ago. He was admitted for the evaluation of severe headache and magnetic resonance image showed a well-enhanced, extra-axial mass in the right parietal region. A presumptive diagnosis was meningioma. It was completely removed with the attached dura. Histological examination including immunohistochemical study showed typical findings of hemangioblastoma. It is emphasized that close observation may be necessary for hemangioblastoma, even after total removal.
