Abstract :Hemangioblastoma is a highly vascularized, have a slow-growing rate grade 1 tumor which are containing neoplastic stromal cells with clear, vacuolated cytoplasm and diagnosed with specific immunohistochemical staining features. Hemangioblastomas can occur in the brain, spinal cord or retina and they account for about 1-2.5% of all intracranial tumors. We presented a 36-year-old male patient presented with a headache and glaucoma. In the radiological images, a cerebellar mass was observed in the localization of the right middle cerebellar pedincle. After surgical resection pathological evaluation was done and as a result, the patient was diagnosed as cellular hemangioblastoma. He was followed up in the intensive care unit for about two months and unfortunately died due to the cardiopulmonary arrest associated with non-tumoral reasons. This case report was a descriptive example for a rare variant of a rare cerebellar tumors
