Surgical resection of endolymphatic sac tumors in von Hippel-Lindau disease: findings, results, and indications.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives/hypothesis

To define the surgical treatment and outcomes of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease-associated endolymphatic sac tumors (ELSTs), we analyzed consecutive VHL patients who underwent ELST resection.

Study design

Retrospective investigation of consecutive VHL patients who underwent resection of ELSTs at a clinical research center between 1999 and 2010.

Methods

Analysis of serial clinical examinations, audiograms, imaging studies, and operative findings were analyzed.

Results

Thirty-one consecutive patients with ELSTs (15 males, 16 females) underwent resection of 33 tumors (mean follow-up, 49.9 ± 48.0 months; range, 1.0-116 months). One patient had bilateral ELST resections and one patient underwent reoperation for recurrence. Mean age at surgery
