Abstract

A 26-year-old man with von Hippel-Lindau disease. The patient has bilateral renal cystic renal cell cancers, a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, and pancreatic cysts. Coronal contrast-enhanced CT images obtained during the arterial phase (a, b) demonstrate a hyperenhancing neuroendocrine tumor located in the head of the pancreas (a, arrow) and two cystic renal cell cancers (b, arrows). Coronal contrast-enhanced CT images obtained during the portal venous phase (c, d) show multiple tiny nonenhancing low-density pancreatic cysts (arrows)
