Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an autosomally dominant inherited syndrome characterized by variable nevertheless typical manifestations of pathological lesions, the most common being haemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and renal cysts and neoplasms. The authors present clinical and morphological results of a 8-year observation of a patient suffering von Hippel-Lindau disease with gradual manifestation of different pathological tumorous and nontumorous lesions. The authors discuss the pathogenetic consequences, common and unusual VHL pathological changes and stress the diagnostic pitfalls as well as the necessity of regular examination of the patient.
