Case report and literature review describes supratentorial hemangioblastoma with extensive reactive gliosis, highlighting diagnostic challenges on magnetic resonance imaging.
Hemangioblastomas are rare and benign tumors of the central nervous system. They account for 1.5%-2.5% of all intracranial tumors and have an incidence of 3.2%. The resemblance of hemangioblastomas to other tumors renders preoperative diagnosis and management challenging. Herein, we report a case of a supratentorial hemangioblastoma accompanied by extensive reactive gliosis and diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, we review the relevant literature.
