We present a case of a 27-year-old male patient submitted to computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of a renal tumor. The radiological features of the mass suggested the diagnosis of a malignant renal tumor of parenchymatous origin. However, the histological findings proved to be a benign solitary fibrous tumor within the pelvis and caliceal portion of the right kidney.

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.
