Characterized by cerebellar hemangioblastomas (benign tumors similar to plain hemangiomas, but they look like renal cell carcinoma, so they make it hard to tell if the tumor is a primary brain tumor or a metastasis), retinal angiomatosis, and visceral cysts
Visceral cysts are most common finding and can occur in the liver, pancreas, kidneys, etc
Also an increased risk of renal cell carcinoma in the kidneys
