Gorham-Stout syndrome affecting the left mandible: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gorham-Stout syndrome is an extremely rare condition in which spontaneous, progressive resorption of bone occurs. Owing to its low incidence and variable clinical presentation, the diagnosis is often missed or delayed, and at present, there are no specific guidelines for its treatment. We present the case of a 20-year-old male diagnosed with Gorham-Stout syndrome with involvement of the left mandible, and discuss its diagnostic and therapeutic features.

متن کاملGorham-Stout Disease of the Shoulder: Clinical, Pathologic and Therapeutic Considerations
Background: Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare skeletal disorder characterized by massive osteolysis of a bony area in the body. When it hits the shoulder, the patient is faced with a debilitating limitation in terms of motion, stability and quality of life. GSD etiology and pathology are unknown and, as a result, therapeutic modalities remain unclear. The aim of this paper is to explore and ...
متن کاملAn Unusual Manifestation of Gorham-Stout Syndrome
Gorham-Stout syndrome is a rare disorder that leads to extensive lymphangiomatosis in bones with resorption of adjacent bone matrix. As a result, the disease is also known as massive osteolysis or “vanishing bone disease.” Although the disease primarily occurs in bone, it may also involve adjacent soft tissues. We report a case of Gorham-Stout syndrome presented with chylotamponade as a result ...
متن کاملGorham-Stout disease affecting both hands: stabilisation during biphosphonate treatment.
The Gorham-Stout syndrome is a rare condition in which spontaneous, progressive resorption of bone occurs. The aetiology is poorly understood. We report a patient with osteolysis of the metacarpal bones in both hands due to an increased number of stimulated osteoclasts. This suggests that early potent antiresorptive therapy with bisphosphonates may prevent local progressive osteolysis.
