Dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum is a very rare lesion. The other names assigned to this pathology are Lhermitte-Duclos disease. ganglioneuroma. hamartoma of the cerebellum. purkengioma. granule cell hypertrophy or granulomolecular hypertrophy of the cerebellum. Only few cases have been reported in the literature (1-20).since the first report by Lhermitte and Duclos (11).Clinically. t...

Lhermitte-Duclos disease (dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum) is a rare benign cerebellar mass of unknown etiology which is characterized by enlargement of the cerebellar folia. Despite the controversy regarding its pathogenesis, imaging and histopathological findings are rather typical. A 17-year-old female presented with a 2-year history of progressive headaches and gait imbalance. Cr...

Lhermitte Duclos disease also called dysplastic gangliocytoma of cerebellum is an extremely rare cerebellar neoplasm. It usually presents with raised intracranial pressure along with cerebellar signs. We report a rare case of Lhermitte Duclos disease of a 20 years male who presented with signs & symptoms of raised intracranial tension. CT features were suggestive of Lhermitte-Duclos disease. Su...

Dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma (Lhermitte-Duclos disease) is a rare disorder, characterized by a slowly progressive unilateral neoplastic mass of the cerebellar cortex. The histopathological findings of LhermitteDuclos disease (LDD) include the widening of the molecular layer, which is occupied by abnormal ganglion cells, absence of the Purkinje cell layer and hypertrophy of the granulan c...

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...

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a rare phenomenon, but it has been suggested to be more frequent in patients with hereditary cancer syndrome. We report an autopsy case of tumor-to-tumor metastasis in a 75-year-old male. At 6 months before his death, the patient complained of hoarseness and dysphagia, and clinical whole-body examinations revealed advanced lung adenocarcinoma (T4N2M1b, Stage IV), mu...
