Case reports
A 65-year-old man with a neuroendocrine tumor of the ileum presenting with cervical pain who underwent a 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan that incidentally underlines the presence of hemangioblastoma of the cervical spinal cord. The patient does not have a family history of Von Hippel-Lindau Disease nor does he suffer from polycythemia and he is currently waiting for genetic testing. Despite being rare, hemangioblastomas could be possible findings of central nervous system incidentaloma at 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scan, especially in patients with anamnesis with possible related condition 1)
