Haemangioblastoma are two types:
1.Arise in the CNS mainly in the cerebellum----purely benign.
2.Associated with hereditary conditions like VHL----malignant.

-> For what I understand
Von Hippel Tumor (Retinal Hemangioblastoma)
- Is benign (VHL Renal cell Ca it the malignant one)
Retinoblastoma
- Is malignant, but not related to VHL gene mutation.
Hemangiomas (Retina, Brain Stem, Cerebellum, Spinal cord)
are associated with VHL disease and are benign.
-> Please correct me if I´m wrong
