    RationaleLhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare tumor of the nervous system with a typical "tiger striped'" sign, but its features on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are still inconclusive.Patient ConcernsTo explore the characteristics of LDDs using fMRI.DiagnosesWe report 3 cases of pathologically confirmed LDDs.InterventionsThree patients underwent brain tumor surgery.OutcomesAll the patients had a good prognosis.LessonsMagnetic resonance spectroscopy and susceptibility-weighted imaging combined with conventional MRI can be used to better diagnose LDDs. Perfusion-weighted imaging is not specific for distinguishing cerebellar tumors. The combined application of fMRI and conventional MRI can improve the accuracy of LDD diagnoses.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
