Von Hippel-Lindau Disease

Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an inherited genetic disorder characterised by benign and cancerous tumours in parts of the body that have a rich supply of blood vessels. It is a rare condition that develops from the abnormal growth of blood vessels as knots (haemangioblastomas) in the brain, spinal cord and eyes. Cancers may also develop in other parts of the body such as the kidneys, pancreas and adrenal glands.
