DIAZ SANCHEZ, Mario de Jesús et al. Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.2, pp.167-169.  Epub 20-Oct-2023. ISSN 1870-7203.  https://doi.org/10.35366/110266.

Introduction:

Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an inherited disorder that predisposes the development of various tumors that mainly affect the central nervous system, kidney, and pancreas. Due to its possibility of developing renal cell carcinoma and having clinical consequences in the pancreas, imaging surveillance is necessary to identify these manifestations promptly.

Clinical case:

a 23-year-old female patient, recently diagnosed with VHL disease and evidence of hemangioblastoma in the cerebellum that required surgical treatment, presented asymptomatically for an abdominal MRI as part of her screening studies.

Conclusion:

imaging studies are necessary for patients diagnosed with VHL to make a timely diagnosis of the possible affectations in the organs most frequently related to the disease.

Palabras llave : Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome; magnetic resonance imaging; diagnostic imaging; neoplastic syndromes; renal cysts; pancreatic cysts.
