چکیده
Vanishing bone disease, also known as idiopathic osteolysis and Gorham Stout disease is a rare clinicopathological entity characterized by proliferation of intra osseous capillaries and lymphatics thereby leading to bony destruction. All age groups can be affected. The most common sites for predilection are the shoulder and pelvis. The authors report a rare and interesting case of idiopathic osteolysis of right foot in a 50 year old female who presented with progressive regression of 2nd and 3rd toes.
