%X Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD), also known as dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma, is a rare, slow-growing, benign lesion that occurs in the cerebellum and is very uncommon in the pediatric population. There is a lack of literature and evidence about LDD management, and only one systematic review is available. Thus, more case reports and studies are warranted. This study reports a pediatric case diagnosed with LDD and describes the patient's clinical presentation, radiological findings, and histopathological criteria. In addition, important aspects of the disease are discussed to help reach the best management options. The main management option is surgical resection, though a "wait and see" approach is also an alternative, especially for asymptomatic patients. More studies are still needed to determine the best management options.
