It is an interesting and unisual case of Gorham disease. Presentation is almost good. In this special kind of cases it is necessary to make a good review of the literature. To do this will improve the quality and importance of the manuscript. Also, a high quality photomicrograph is necessary.

Gorham disease was first described in 1938 and reviewed extensively by Gorham in 1955. It is also known as Vanishing Bone Disease, Massive Osteolysis, Gorham-Stout Syndrome, and Phantom Bone Disease. Gorham disease is characterized by the destruction of bone which is replaced by vascular proliferation followed by dense fibrous tissue.
The authors state that a differential diagnosis is eosinophillic granuloma and osteomyelitis. Various radiographs are presented and analyzed. Histopathological findings are also discussed.
