Gorham-Stout disease of costo-vertebral localization: radiographic, scintigraphic, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings.
Gorham-Stout disease is a clinical, radiographic, and histological entity characterized by progressive osteolysis as a result of a histologically benign vascular proliferation involving bone. We present a case involving the cervical and thoracic spine and the osseous thorax, with attention to the clinical, radiographic, scintigraphic, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings. These subjects are discussed in the light of the literature.
