Gorham's disease is a rare disorder characterized by proliferation of vascular channels. The clinical presentation of Gorham's disease is variable and depends on the site of involvement. A high index of clinical suspicion is needed for accurate diagnosis, and recognition of distinctive radiologic and histopathologic features can help facilitate and expedite diagnosis. The subsequent images were obtained from a 31-year-old male patient. Nuclear scintigraphy and computed tomography identified active bone destruction in the lower thoracic and upper lumbar spine in addition to the absence of the left lower rib cage. Gorham's disease was subsequently confirmed by biopsy.
戈谢病是一种罕见的疾病，其特征是血管通道的增殖。戈谢病的临床表现多种多样，取决于受累部位。准确诊断需要高度的临床怀疑指数，识别独特的放射学和组织病理学特征有助于促进和加快诊断。以下是一名 31 岁男性患者的后续图像。核闪烁扫描和计算机断层扫描除了左胸下肋骨缺失外，还确定了下胸椎和上腰椎的活动性骨破坏。随后的活检证实了戈谢病的诊断。
