=== Classification terms === Pheo - A pheochromocytoma is an adrenal tumor that makes and releases excess catecholamines. These tumors can cause serious health problems including stroke, heart attack, and even death.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Yale |first=Medicine |date=October 2024 |title=What is a pheochromocytoma |url=https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/pheochromocytoma#:~:text=These%20substances%20are%20made%20by,heart%20attack%2C%20and%20even%20death. |website=Yale Medicine}}</ref> Hemangioblastomas - a hemangioblastoma is a tumor that grows in the blood vessels of your brain, spinal cord or retina. It isn’t cancerous, but it may grow and press on surrounding tissues. Usually, healthcare providers recommend removing a hemangioblastoma with surgery. After removal, a hemangioblastoma is unlikely to grow back.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Clinic |first=Cleveland |date=October 2024 |title=Hemangioblastoma |url=https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22738-hemangioblastoma |website=Cleveland Clinic}}</ref> Retina angiomas - retinal capillary hemangiomas also known as retinal hemangioblastomas, occur most frequently in conjunction with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome.
