Recurrent Pulmonary Hemangioblastoma

Abstract

Hemangioblastomas (HB) are generally benign, central nervous tumors of uncertain histogenesis. Peripheral hemangioblastomas have been reported in the peripheral nerves, soft tissue, retroperitoneum, skin, liver, pancreas, lung, adrenal gland, kidney, and urinary bladder. We report a case of a solitary hemangioblastoma of the lung with local recurrence after 15 years, with a review of important differential diagnoses.
