Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is frequently encountered in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) and uncommonly metastasizes to the central nervous system. Here, we present the case of a VHL patient with symptomatic pancreatic NET metastases to both the cervical spinal cord and a preexisting brainstem hemangioblastoma (e.g., tumor- to-tumor metastasis).
胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤(NET)在冯·希佩尔-林道病(VHL)患者中经常出现,并且很少转移至中枢神经系统。在此,我们报告一例VHL患者,其胰腺NET出现症状性转移至颈脊髓和一个已存在的脑干血管母细胞瘤(即肿瘤至肿瘤转移)。
