Abstract
A Lhermitte-Duclos type cerebellum hamartoma is reported in a woman wi th a diffuse hamartomatous condition involving the breast, thyroid, co lon, skin, and kidney. The family history demonstrated the autosomal d ominant transmission of this hamartomatous syndrome, and indicated the diagnosis of Cowden disease. This observation supports the recent hyp othesis of Lhermitte-Duclos disease associated with Cowden disease as being a single phakomatosis.
