Abstract

A case of dysplastic gangliocytoma, or Lhermitte-Duclos disease, of the cerebellum is reported. The patient was the seventh reported survivor of this rare disease. A review of the known biology of the disease allows some optimism. The treatment of choice appears to be surgical resection only.
