“…The precise pathogenetic cascade of events leading to massive loss of the bone substance is not well understood. The disease is not accompanied by any systemic symptoms, there is never a second osteolytic focus and, astonishingly, the function of the affected limb frequently remains remarkably good for a long period of time [14]. Another interesting feature of the disease is the tendency to involve one bone only initially and then to spread frequently -as in our case -to adjacent bones, not respecting anatomic boundaries and readily crossing articular barriers.…”

Gorham-Stout disease of the shoulder girdle and cervico-thoracic spine: fatal course in a 65-year-old woman

et al. 2002

A case of Gorham-Stout disease of the shoulder girdle and cervico-thoracic spine in a 65-year-old woman is described. The patient presented with progressive neurologic symptoms, pain, and deformities of the cervico-thoracic spine as well as of her left shoulder following a traumatic shoulder luxation. Since the patient had a history of uterine carcinoma, the current disease was clinically difficult to differentiate from osteolytic metastases. The results of the clinical, radiological and histopathologic examination leading to the diagnosis of Gorham-Stout disease are described. Neither attempted surgery nor radiotherapy produced clinical improvement and the patient died 1 year after the first clinical evaluation.

“…Certain patients have presented with a relatively abrupt onset of pain and swelling or a pathological fracture on the affected site, whereas others have presented with a history of an insidious onset of pain, limitation of motion and progressive weakness in the affected area (3). The disease is not usually accompanied by any systemic symptoms (6). In most cases, the bone resorption process may stop spontaneously, and therefore the prognosis is generally good unless vital structures are involved.…”

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 mandible, and discuss its diagnostic and therapeutic features.

We report here a case of the rare Gorham-Stout syndrome (GSS) of the humerus. GSS is a disease in the course of which spontaneous idiopathic osteolysis occurs. We describe a case of a 46-year-old business economist who suffered an inadequate trauma and within 3 weeks developed self-limited idiopathic osteolysis of the left humerus head, also affecting the rotator cuff. This could be diagnosed especially on the basis of histopathological findings. Hereupon we indicated operative repair by means of inverted shoulder joint endoprosthesis.

Painless Destruction of the Shoulder Joint: A Case Report

Abstract: A case of painless destruction of the shoulder joint is reported for its rarity and unusual presentation as a neuroarthropathic joint with no evidence of neurological disease. A differential diagntosis of Gorham-Stout syndrome and avascular necrosis was discussed.
