The von Hippel-Lindau disease, also von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is characterized by (mnemonic: HIPPEL):[1]
- Hemangioblastomas.
- Increased renal cancer (clear cell renal cell carcinoma).
- Pheochromocytoma & pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.[2]
- Port-wine stains, skin lesion - looks like spilled wine; think Mikhail Gorbachev.
- Eye dysfunction and Endolymphatic sac tumours.[3]
- Liver cysts, pancreas cysts (serous microcystic adenoma), pancreatic islet cell tumours & kidney cysts.
Bare bones version:
- Hippel-Lindau, with H and L as above.
Prevalence
- 1 in 40,000 live births.[6]
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour
Main article: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour
- AKA pancreatic islet cell tumour
In VHL these have distinct morphology:
- Clear cells[7] - unusual in neuroendocrine tumours otherwise.
- Fibrosis. (???)
Trivia
VHL gene is found on chromosome 3.[8]
