Abstract:

SUMMARY

Lhermitte–Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare entity that may occur in the setting of Cowden’s syndrome (CS). Accurate preoperative diagnosis can be made on the characteristic CT and MR appearances, thereby obviating the need for biopsy. It is important to be aware of the link between LDD and CS so that appropriate genetic counselling and tumour surveillance can be undertaken.
