Angiomatosis: Article Excerpts about Von Hippel-Lindau Disease

Genes and Disease by the National Center for Biotechnology (Excerpt)

Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is an inherited multi-system disorder characterized by abnormal growth of blood vessels. While blood vessels normally grow like trees, in people with VHL little knots of blood capillaries sometimes occur. (Source: Genes and Disease by the National Center for Biotechnology)

NINDS von Hippel-Lindau Disease Information Page: NINDS (Excerpt)

von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is a rare, genetic multi-system disorder characterized by the abnormal growth of tumors in certain parts of the body (angiomatosis). The tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) are benign and are comprised of a nest of blood vessels and are called hemangioblastomas (or angiomas in the eye). Hemangioblastomas may develop in the brain, the retina of the eyes, and other areas of the nervous system. Other types of tumors develop in the adrenal glands, the kidneys, or the pancreas.
