We describe a rare tumor site in a 46 year old man who presented with a two week history of headache. Physical examination revealed bilateral papilloedema with no other localizing signs. Computed Tomographic Scan as well as Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain revealed a lesion with a dura tail located adjacent to the falx cerebri of the right frontal lobe. This lesion was not invading the inner table of the skull base. A tumor blush was seen on angiogram. There were no abnormalities on CT scan of the abdomen and fundoscopy was normal. Intraoperatively a vascular tumor not attached to the dura was noted and removed totally. Histopathological examination was typical of a hemangioblastoma. Analysis revealed no mutations of the VHL gene in 5 regions, exon 5-8 of the p53 gene, exon 1-2 of the p16 gene and exon 5,6 and 8 of the PTEN gene. This is the first case report of a supratentorial hemangioblastoma in a non-Von Hippel Lindau patient with genetic evidence.
