Radiol Bras 2011;44(5):336-338 - CASE REPORT
Gorham’s disease is a rare osteolytic disorder of still controversial etiology that may affect any bone. The histopathological substrate for such a condition is the replacement of normal bone by aggressive non-neoplastic expansile vascular tissue. The authors describe radiographic, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings in a case of this entity initially affecting the left scapula and, two years later, the ipsilateral clavicle.
Keywords: Gorham’s disease; Massive osteolysis; Computed tomography; Magnetic resonance imaging.
