Gorham-Stout syndrome: "Phantom bone disease"

Gorham-stout syndrome is a disease that presents idiopathic osteolysis of a bone or contiguous area. The etiology is unknown. It is a rare condition, difficult to diagnose and with controversial treatment. This condition affects persons with no distinction as to age or sex. In this study, we conduct a bibliographic review of the disease, specifically focusing on differential diagnosis, and follow a patient with this syndrome from the time of its diagnosis, through treatment, to its current state of evolution.
