ABSTRACT
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is frequently encountered in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) and uncommonly metastasizes to the central nervous system. Here, we present the case of a VHL patient with symptomatic pancreatic NET metastases to both the cervical spinal cord and a preexisting brainstem hemangioblastoma (e.g., tumor- to-tumor metastasis).
