Surg Neurol. 1998 Nov;50(5):461-3; discussion 463-4. doi: 10.1016/s0090-3019(97)00197-3.

Abstract

A very unusual case of sellar-sphenoid sinus hemangioblastoma without stigmata of von Hippel-Lindau disease is presented. Subtotal excision of tumor was done via an extended frontobasal approach. Diagnostic controversies between hemangioblastoma and angioblastic meningioma are discussed and the relevant literature reviewed.
