The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is caused by VHL germ line mutation. Inactivation of the wild-type copy of the VHL gene leads to up-regulation of hypoxic response and tumor formation within central nervous system (CNS), kidneys, pancreas, adrenal glands, epididymis, broad ligament, and the endolymphatic sac/petrous bone. Endolymphatic sac tumors (ELST) have been proposed to be derived from endolymphatic sac epithelium, but other possible structures of origin have been implicated. To clarify the anatomic and cellular origin of ELSTs, we did a morphologic and molecular pathologic analysis of 16 tumors. In addition, we investigated effects of VHL deficiency on "tumor-free" endolymphatic duct and sac of VHL patients. Several tumors included in this study were
