Two Cases of Suspected Massive Osteolysis, Radiographically
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report two cases of suspected massive osteolysis Case 1 was a 63-year-old man who experienced pain in his left buttock six years ago and was walking with a limp the following year. X-ray showed resorption of the left coxal bone and pubic bone. Suspecting a malignant tumor, biopsy was performed. The findings showed massive osteolysis which had destroyed bone trabeculaes, and replaced granulomatous fibrosis including blood vessels. Eracatonin may be effective for stopping the activity of the osteoclast and relieving pain. Case 2 was a 66-year-old man who noticed a large mass on his left shoulder one year ago. The growing tumor limited his shoulder R.O.M. Radiography, especially 3DCT scan, showed marked resorption of the left scapula and ribs. Hematological and pathological findings revealed a multiple myeloma. Massive osteolysis is a very rare tumor-like lesion characterized by progressive osteolysis. The diagnosis must be confirmed by the microscopic finding of an intramedullary angioma-like vascular structure. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish this disease from others having osteolysis.

Gorham’s disease is a rare and atypical disorder epitomized by progressive osteolysis of bone with eventual total disappearance of bone.

Gotham's disease or vanishing bone is a rare disease with unknown etiology. Frequently, children and young adults are affected. It is characterized by proliferation of vascular or lymphatic tissue which results in destruction and resorption of bone. In this disease, the destructed bone is replaced either by hemangiomatous or lymphangiomatous tissue ( s) and in a later stage, fibrosis occurs. It...

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 کاملThe Gorham-Stout syndrome (Gorham's massive osteolysis). A report of six cases with histopathological findings.
The Gorham-Stout Syndrome (Gorham's massive osteolysis) is a rare condition in which spontaneous, progressive resorption of bone occurs. The aetiology is poorly understood. We report six cases of the condition and present evidence that osteolysis is due to an increased number of stimulated osteoclasts. This suggests that early potent antiresorptive therapy such as with calcitonin or bisphosphon...
