  • Title: Cerebellar primitive neuroectodermal tumor with multipotent differentiation in a family with von Hippel-Lindau disease. Case report.
    Author: Becker R, Bauer BL, Mennel HD, Plate KH.
    Journal: Clin Neuropathol; 1993; 12(2):107-11. PubMed ID: 8386599.
    Abstract:
    A family with von Hippel-Lindau disease (vHLD) is presented. Three family members suffered from typical cerebellar hemangioblastomas. Another family member presented with a cerebellar neoplasm of different histology. Detailed histological analysis revealed a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) with neuronal, glial, myoid and ependymal differentiation. This is apparently the first description of the association of vHLD and a cerebellar PNET with multipotent differentiation.
