title: An aggressive lymphatic malformation (Gorham's disease) leading to death of a child.
abstract: Here in, we present a case of aggressive Gorham's disease in a 10 year old boy. We document its evolution from a seemingly benign buttock mass to a widely invasive disease that was ultimately fatal. We highlight the challenges in the management of such an aggressive, yet benign process and review the available literature on the subject.
