Hemangioblastomas in the elderly: epidemiology and clinical characteristics.
[von hippel-lindau disease]
Intracranial
hemangioblastomas
are
benign
vascular
tumors
.
The
peak
age
of
incidence
is
between
20
to
50
years
.
Hemangioblastomas
rarely
occur
in
patients
over
the
age
of
65
.
To
our
knowledge
there
is
no
review
of
the
prevalence
and
clinical
features
in
an
elderly
population
.
We
reviewed
our
12
year
experience
with
intracranial
hemangioblastomas
,
and
characterized
the
clinical
features
of
hemangioblastomas
in
patients
over
the
age
of
65
.
We
present
a
72
-
year
-old
man
with
a
cerebellar
mass
initially
thought
to
be
a
metastasis
as
an
illustrative
case
.
We
reviewed
our
pathology
database
and
identified
all
patients
with
a
histopathologically
confirmed
diagnosis
of
hemangioblastoma
over
the
last
12
years
in
a
large
tertiary
adult
hospital
;
all
patients
were
over
the
age
of
18
.
Of
all
cases
of
hemangioblastoma
in
the
last
12
years
,
six
of
77
(
7
.
7
%
)
occurred
in
patients
over
the
age
of
65
.
All
were
cerebellar
in
location
,
and
none
were
associated
with
von
-
Hippel
Lindau
disease
.
Hemangioblastomas
are
uncommon
,
but
not
rare
,
in
patients
over
the
age
of
65
,
and
should
be
included
in
the
differential
diagnosis
of
patients
presenting
with
gait
ataxia
and
a
cerebellar
lesion
in
this
age
group
.
