Biological Characteristics of a Cerebellar Mass Regrowing after Removal in a Patient with Lhermitte-Duclos Disease: Emission Tomography Studies
Lhermitte-Duclos disease is a rare disorder characterized by a slowly enlarging mass in the cerebellum. The exact nature of this lesion remains unclear, but it has been variously characterized as hypertrophy, hamartoma or benign neoplasm. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with (123)I-iomazenil and (99m)Tc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) display central benzodiazepine receptors tha...

متن کاملA 25 Year-Old Male with Cerebellar Mass: Lhermitte-Duclos Disease
We report a rare case of dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma also called as Lhermitte-Duclos Disease located in the cerebellum in a young male without any neurological signs. Morphologically dysplastic neurons and immunohistochemical staining with neuronal and glial markers was all diagnostic on pathology. Also a non-enhancing cerebellar hemispheric mass with a striated pattern of hyper-, and i...
