Abstract
The clinical features and pathology of granule cell hypertrophy of the cerebellum (Lhermitte-Duclos disease) are described in a 30-year-old man. The patient, who underwent successful surgery, is the eighth reported survivor of this disease. Whether the disease is neoplastic or dysplastic is still unknown, but the lesion has growth potential, and consequently the proper treatment is surgical resection. A cerebrospinal fluid shunt was only temporarily effective in this case.Keywords
