Abstract

Summary: A 16-year old girl with Gorham-Stout disease is presented. She had progressive replacement of the bones of her left arm and shoulder girdle by fibroadipose tissue and numerous proliferated, non-neoplastic, lymphatic channels. The clinico-pathologic features of this condition are discussed, as are its possible complications and available therapeutic modalities.
