Abstract
A case is reported of a 21 year old man with polycythaemia and a vascular frontal lobe tumour that was histologically compatible with the diagnosis of haemangioblastoma. On review of the English literature no case could be found of polycythaemia associated with supratentorial haemangioblastoma.
