Abstract

Spinal cord hemangioblastoma (HBL) is a highly vascularized tumor that occurs sporadically or in relation to von Hippel-Lindau disease. Sporadic-type HBLs in the spinal cord usually present as single lesions that are potentially curable by complete surgical resection, with a low rate of recurrence. We report a case of a totally excised sporadic-type spinal cord HBL with multiple recurrences observed 10 years after surgery. Long-term follow-up may be necessary for spinal cord HBL, even in cases of complete resection.
