Tumor-to-tumor metastasis in the central nerve system is uncommon in our routine practice. Most reports include metastatic breast cancer into meningioma. Here we report a metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) into a cerebellar hemangioblastoma in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Imaging cannot distinguish metastatic ccRCC from primary cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Immuno-molecular studies are proven to be diagnostic. We also reviewed previously documented tumor-to-tumor metastasis of ccRCC to cerebellar hemangioblastoma in VHL disease. Lastly, we discussed potential mechanisms involved in the metastasis of ccRCC to hemangioblastoma in the cerebellum in patients with VHL.
