Abstract :

 Hemangioblastomas are rare, benign tumors of which most common site is cerebellum and spinal cord. Here we report a rare case of hemangioblastoma in left temporo–parietal region which is the site. A 45–year–old female presented with history of headache, dizziness and vomiting. MRI demonstrated a well defined extra–axial lesion in left temporal lobe anteriorly at the base of skull. Surgically the single tissue mass was removed which was well encapsulated, firm, grey–own in colour. On frozen sections, we had given the differential diagnosis of Astrocytoma and hemangioblastoma. But on histopathological examination and special stain study we reached to the final diagnosis of hemangioblastoma. Hence the final diagnosis should not be given on the frozen section study only
