Abstract
Gorham's disease (GD) is a rare disorder characterized by spontaneous and progressive osteolysis of one or more bones and thought to belong to lymphangiomatoses spectrum of diseases. Surgical, radiation and medical therapies have been performed with variable and often discouraging outcomes and currently there is no recognized effective treatment. In this paper we describe a 24-year-old girl with GD localized to mandible who was effectively managed with zoledronic acid, a nitrogen-containing high-potency bisphosphonate.Entities:
