case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, T1WI axial section demonstrated a 4.5 x 3.5 cm heterogeneously hyperintense lesion occupying the 4th ventricle, extending toward the left cerebellopontine cistern. (a) The mass effect is evidenced by compressing the pons, left middle cerebellar peduncle, and cerebellar hemisphere. (b) The lesion becomes mixed intensity in T2WI, having an irregular hyperintense rim. (c) After administration of contrast, there is intense homogeneous contrast enhancement.

case_images: A solid lesion measuring 5 cm in the craniocaudal plane and 4.5 x 3.5 cm in the axial plane was detected using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [Figures 3a and b]. After administration of contrast, there was avid homogenous contrast enhancement [Figure 3c].
case_images: En bloc resected specimen showed a lobulated brownish-red tumor with engorged surface blood vessels.

case_images: On gross inspection, the tumor was brownish red, lobulated with numerous engorged blood vessels mimicking a solid variety of hemangioblastoma [Figure 4].
case_images: (a) Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated complete resection of the tumor with no residual. (b) The tumor mass effect was completely obliterated.

case_images: An MRI performed after surgery revealed no signs of tumor residual or hydrocephalus [Figure 5].
