Haemangioblastoma is a rare benign vascular tumor commonly seen in the cerebellum. There is a striking histologic similarity between cellular variant of haemangioblastoma and metastatic renal cell carcinoma. We present a case of haemangioblastoma in a 32-year-old male. Histology revealed a highly vascular tumor composed of clear cells in a lobular arrangement.

The Retinoblastoma Gene

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
