Disappearing bone disease of the upper extremity.
Disappearing bone disease (Gorham's disease) is a rare clinical problem. The extensive bone loss seen with this entity makes it a difficult therapeutic problem, especially if contiguous bones are involved, which is a highly unusual occurrence. We report a case of disappearing bone disease involving the upper extremity and review the relevant literature.
