The Gorham-Stout syndrome (Gorham's massive osteolysis)

Abstract: 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 bisphosphonates may prevent local progressive osteolysis.

“…There is no gender preference and genetic heredity cause. The diagnosis is based on combined clinical, radiological and histopathology findings after excluding neoplastic, immunologic, endocrinologic, infectious, and inflammatory diseases 6. However, the diagnosis is difficult and is often recognized retrospectively 28.…”

“…Based on histopathological features, fibro-osseous disease in mice has some similarity to human Gorham-Stout Syndrome or Gorham’s massive osteolysis/angiomatosis (Möller et al, 1999; van der Linden-van der Zwaag and Onvlee, 2006). This rare human disease is usually discovered during radiographic evaluation of pathologic fracture.…”
