PURPOSE: To report endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) as the initial finding in von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 4-year-old boy presented in February 2001 with right hearing loss and seventh nerve palsy from ELST. Genetic analysis showed a VHL mutation (gene 3p25-26). Systemic and ocular examination for VHL syndrome-related tumors was unrevealing. Four years later, multiple retinal hemangioblastoma (retinal capillary hemangioma) were detected in both eyes and successfully treated with argon laser photocoagulation. CONCLUSION: ELSTs can be the initial manifestation of VHL syndrome. Lifelong screening for related tumors, particularly retinal hemangioblastoma, is advised.
