Lhermitte-Duclos disease presenting with positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance fusion imaging: a case report
INTRODUCTION Lhermitte-Duclos disease or dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum is an extremely rare tumor. It is a slowly enlarging mass within the cerebellar cortex. The majority of cases are diagnosed in the third or fourth decade of life. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 37-year-old Caucasian woman who underwent positron emission tomography-computed tomography with fluorine-1...
متن کاملMR imaging of Lhermitte-Duclos disease: a case report.
Since 1920, when Lhermitte and Duclos first described a tumorlike abnormality of the cerebellum, which has come to bear their name, there has been an increasing number of reports of this rare entity [1-10]. Most cases have not had radiographic correlation , but there are several reported cases in which CT was part of the pretreatment evaluation [2-7], and one case was demonstrated on low-field ...
متن کاملLhermitte-Duclos disease: assessment with MR imaging, positron emission tomography, single-photon emission CT, and MR spectroscopy.
SUMMARY Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare cerebellar lesion with features of both malformation and benign neoplasm. However, the fundamental nature of the entity, its pathogenesis, and the exact genetic alterations remain unknown. We describe MR findings (including perfusion- and diffusion-weighted images) in two patients with LDD, as well as findings from single-photon emission CT (SPEC...
متن کاملImaging Atherosclerosis with Hybrid Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Noninvasive imaging of atherosclerosis could potentially move patient management towards individualized triage, treatment, and followup. The newly introduced combined positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system could emerge as a key player in this context. Both PET and MRI have previously been used for imaging plaque morphology and function: however, the combi...
متن کاملCowden disease with Lhermitte-Duclos disease: case report.
BACKGROUND We report a case and review the recent literature describing 36 patients with both Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) and Cowden disease (CD). Lhermitte-Duclos disease, or dysplastic gangliocytoma, is a benign hamartomatous condition involving the cerebellum. The presenting symptoms are usually headaches, gait ataxia, and symptoms of lower cranial nerve involvement. Cowden disease is a r...
