Pheochromocytoma and clear-cell renal carcinoma in a child with von Hippel-Lindau disease: a patient report.

Abstract excerpt

A 6 year-old boy with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease presented with hypertension due to bilateral pheochromocytomas. At age 13 he developed a renal carcinoma and bilateral paragangliomas. His mother had retinal angiomas, bilateral pheochromocytomas and a cerebellar hemangioblastoma. This unusual presentation illustrates the complexity and difficulties associated with the management of VHL disease.
