ABSTRACT

Hemangioblastomas are tumors of the central nervous system that originate from the vascular system. Hemangioblastomas are most commonly composed of stromal cells in small blood vessels and usually occur in the cerebellum, brain stem or spinal cord. Hemangioblastomas usually occur in adults in less than 2% patients. Men and women are approximately at the same risk. The treatment for hemangioblastoma is surgical excision of the tumor.
