  • Title: Clinically unsuspected retinal hemangioblastoma in a blind eye as the initial manifestation of von Hippel-Lindau disease.
    Author: Saunders T, Margo CE.
    Journal: Pathol Res Pract; 2012 Mar 15; 208(3):186-8. PubMed ID: 22281434.
    Abstract:
    We describe the microscopic findings of a clinically unsuspected retinal hemangioblastoma in an eye removed for pain and blindness. Although the patient was otherwise in good health, further investigation revealed von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Retinal hemangioblastomas are small benign tumors than can be easily overlooked in histological examination of an eye. Awareness of the context in which retinal hemangioblastoma can be found may be the most important factor in recognizing this lesion microscopically.
