The gradual expansion of multiple intramedullary metastatic renal cell carcinoma in a patient with von Hippel–Lindau disease with multiple intramedullary hemangioblastomas: illustrative case
Although a rare metastatic intramedullary CCRCC is difficult to differentiate from comorbid hemangioblastomas in patients with VHLD, it is important to note that the tumor growth rate differs between hemangioblastoma and metastatic CCRCC, which can be followed using sequential MRI. Care must be taken not to dismiss the timing of the removal of metastatic intramedullary tumors. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25459.
