A case of von Hippel Lindau disease in a young female is described. Currently, surgery is unwarranted, since these patients only present cystic disease. However, subsequent control evaluations may indicate surgery since these cysts can easily progress to a carcinoma. The literature is briefly reviewed, with special reference to the therapeutic aspects of current day patient management.
