A Successfully Treated Case of Gorham-Stout Syndrome with Sternal Involvement

Abstract: 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 unk… Show more

“…Mögliche Behandlungsoptionen stellen neben medikamentösen Behandlungen mit Bisphosphonaten, α-Interferon-2b, Androgenen, Calcium, Corticosteroiden, Calcitonin, Vitamin D und Zytostatika, chirurgische Verfahren, Embolisationen [29,79,277,282,320,608] und die Radiotherapie (RT) dar [79,121,173,309,310,343,426]. Nach alleinigem Einsatz von Bisphosphonaten, sowie bei Kombination mit der RT, wurde über teilweise langfristige Remissionen berichtet [29,79,88,277,282,310,422,740]. Auch über multimodale Behandlungsansätze mit sequentiellem Einsatz von Operation, Strahlentherapie und medikamentöser Behandlung wurde berichtet [167,182].…”

“…Gorham-Stout disease (GSD), also known as "vanishing bone disease" or "massive osteolysis", is a rare disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by progressive osteolysis and absorption with mono-or poly-osteolytic lesions 7) . Gorham disease was first described in 1838; since then, more than 300 cases have been reported, with approximately 60 cases related to the spine.…”
