Abstract

BACKGROUND: von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL) is an autosomal dominant hereditary syndrome with an increased predisposition of developing numerous cysts and tumors, almost exclusively clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Considering the lifelong surveillance in such patients to monitor the disease, patients with VHL are preferentially imaged using MRI to eliminate radiation exposure.
