A Successfully Treated Case of Gorham-Stout Syndrome with Sternal Involvement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gorham-Stout Syndrome (GSS) is a rare disease characterized by localized bone resorption. Any part of the skeleton may be affected; therefore, symptoms can vary depending on the site involved. Pathological analysis reveals lymphovascular proliferation and osteolysis in the affected lesion, but the etiology of the disease is poorly understood. When GSS occurs in the chest, chylothorax or respiratory failure may occur. Thus far, a standard treatment for GSS has not been established, and the prognosis remains unknown. The following case report describes a successfully treated case of GSS in a 16-year-old boy with an affected sternum and ribs.

Gorham-Stout syndrome affecting the left mandible: A case report
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 ma...

Type IV osteolysis or Gorham-Stout syndrome is a rare condition characterized by recurrent vascular tumors that disrupt normal anatomical architecture. Gorham-Stout syndrome is most commonly associated with the skeletal system with resulting replacement of bone with scar tissue following tumor regression. The loss of entire bones has given Gorham-Stout syndrome the moniker vanishing bone diseas...

Gorham-Stout disease is a rare disease characterized by anarchic lymphovascular proliferation causing resorption of bone sometimes leading to disastrous complications. Bone tissue is progressively replaced by angiomatic and lymphangiomatic tissue and finally by fibrous tissue. This disease is known to be ubiquitous and of complex etiology. We present a case of Gorham-Stout disease of the proxim...

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 ...
