Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a pathologic entity with progrediating, diffuse hypertrophy chiefly of the stratum granulosum of the cerebellum. Typically LDD is a unilateral lesion of the cerebellum or in vermis. Here we report a case of LDD with bilateral lesions of cerebellar hemispheres managed surgically. A 28-year-old woman presented with one-year history of progressive headache, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision. Neurologic examination revealed a bilateral mild papilledema, mild dysmetria, and dysdiadochokinesia. The cerebellar lesions caused moderate mass effect in posterior fossa with hydrocephalus, and Chiari type I malformation. We performed the suboccipital-retrosigmoid approach, and removed completely the left intracerebellar mass. Symptoms related to elevated intracranial pressure disappeared in a short period postoperatively.

Introduction And Importance: Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) hamartomas comprise a spectrum of disorders that involve multiple systems and originate from a group of allelic disorders from germ line mutations in the PTEN gene. PTEN hamartomas involve a spectrum of disorders with diversed clinical manifestations and diagnosis can be challenging, particularly when lesions mimic other conditions.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a PTEN hamartoma in an eighteen-year-old male, who presented with a history of swelling on the chin with episodic bleeds.

Endometrial cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women in France, with an increasing incidence partly due to the increase in diabetes and obesity. A genetic predisposition is found in approximately 5% of cases, notably Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, hamartomatous tumor syndrome (Cowden syndrome), and BRCA1/2 mutations. Although no organized screening is in place for endometrial cancer in the general population, individual screening is recommended for most of these at-risk populations.

Background/aim: Cowden syndrome (CS)/PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) is a hereditary disorder caused by germline variants. While patients with CS/PHTS have increased risk of various cancers, pancreatic cancer is not typically associated with this syndrome. We report a rare case of pancreatic mixed acinar-neuroendocrine carcinoma in a patient with a germline variant, aiming to understand its molecular characteristics and clinical implications.
