Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare, slow-growing neoplasm that develops in the brain's posterior fossa. It can appear as a single lesion or as part of Cowden's syndrome.We report the case of a 51-year-old female with a history of diabetes, hypertension, and a previously treated neuroendocrine tumor, who presented to the hospital after experiencing a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Except for a tongue laceration, the neurological examination was unremarkable. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a T2 left cerebellar hemisphere pseudomass lesion with iso-hyperintense signals suggestive of Lhermitte-Duclos disease. This case describes a unique presentation of LDD and its various radiological manifestations, emphasizing the importance of neuroimaging in its diagnosis. Additionally, it contributes to the expanding literature on the varied manifestations of LDD. |
