Abstrakt: We evaluated blood flow and oxygen metabolism in a patient with Lhermitte–Duclos disease using brain positron emission tomography. The lesion showed increased blood flow, reduced oxygen extraction fraction and normal metabolic rates of oxygen. These findings suggest that lesions of Lhermitte–Duclos disease may constitute hamartoma or hypertrophy rather than neoplasm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
