Abstract

We present a 61-year-old man with a 3-month history of headache, hemiparesia and speech disturbance. Computerized tomography (CT) of the brain showed well defined, diffusely contrast enhanced and frontoparietally located solid mass. Histopatologic diagnosis of the tumour was hemangioblastoma. In this report, we present clinic, radiologic and histophologic characteristics of the patient and discussed the case under the light of the literature.
