	1. hypertrophy of the cerebellar cortex
	2. ganglio-neuroma
	3. hamartomablastoma
	4. purkinjeoma
	5. hamartomaneuroma

Answer:

The correct answer for the question "All of the following are synonyms of Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD), except:" is:

The tumor of Lhermitte-Duclos disease [has been described in many ways, such as hamartomablastoma, purkinjeoma, ganglio-neuroma, and diffuse hypertrophy of the cerebellar cortex].The tumor characteristic of Lhermitte-Duclos disease is not called a hamartomaneuroma, although it does have features of both hamartoma and neuroma.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
We report the case of a patient with pre-existing multiple sclerosis, who presented with horizontal diplopia, and a prior episode of progressive ataxia and dizziness lasting one week. While initially attributed to multiple sclerosis, subsequent imaging demonstrated a concurrent left cerebellar gangliocytoma, also known as Lhermitte-Duclos disease.
