title: Case Report: Gorham-Stoute Syndrome with Involvement of Majority of Mandible, and Partial Maxillary, Temporal and Zygomatic Bones.
abstract: The Gorham-Stout syndrome is a rare condition in which spontaneous, progressive resorption of bone occurs. The diagnosis is based on clinical, radiological and histopathological findings after excluding other etiologies and as a result it is often delayed. We present the case of a 21-year-old male diagnosed with Gorham-Stout syndrome with involvement of the majority of the mandible, partial involvement of right maxillary, temporal and zygomatic bones and discuss its diagnostic and therapeutic features.
