AI Article Synopsis
- - A 61-year-old man was diagnosed with Lhermitte-Duclos disease, characterized by a hypervascular dysplastic gangliocytoma, which led to gait issues.
- - Imaging studies (CT and MRI) revealed tumor enhancement after contrast injection, and angiography indicated a tumor stain.
- - Histology showed a double-layered structure with myelinated axons, dysplastic granular cells, and many thin-walled blood vessels; partial tumor resection improved the patient's neurological symptoms.
Article Abstract
A 61-year-old male presented with a hypervascular variant of dysplastic gangliocytoma (Lhermitte-Duclos disease) manifesting as gait disorder. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging both showed enhancement of the tumor after injection of contrast medium. Angiography demonstrated a tumor stain. Histological examination showed a double-layered structure comprising an outer layer of myelinated axons and an inner layer of dysplastic granular cells, and numerous dilated thin-walled blood vessels. Partial resection of the tumor resulted in resolution of the neurological deficit.
