Abstract

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.
