Abstract
Gorham's disease is a rare disorder and its etiology remains unknown. It is characterized by the proliferation of vascular structures in bone, and results in progressive osteolysis. Chylothorax is a severe complication of Gorham's disease with a mortality of 50%. We report a 14-year-old boy with Gorham's disease complicated by chylothorax who underwent early surgical management followed by radiotherapy. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.Entities:
