Summary

A case of cerebellar hemangioblastoma associated with slight but definite erythrocytosis is reported. Operative removal of the tumor resulted in the reversion to a normal blood picture. Erythropoietin-like activity, being non-dialyzable and relatively thermolabile, was detected in the fluid aspirated from tumor. The mother of the reported patient suffered from the same disease which was also associated with a slight degree of erythrocytosis.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird über den Fall eines cerebellaren Hämangioblastoms begleitet von einer leichten, aber doch eindeutig diagnostizierten Erythrozytose berichtet. Die operative Entfernung des Tumors führte zu einer Renormalisierung des Blutbildes. In der aus dem Tumor aspirierten Flüssigkeit wurde eine erythropoetinähnliche Wirkung entdeckt, die relativ thermolabil und nicht dialysierbar war. Die Mutter des geschilderten Patienten litt an der gleichen Krankheit, die ebenfalls von einer Erythrozytose leichten Grades begleitet war.
