A healthy young man with lost ribs
A 19-year-old man received a routine medical exam, he had no medical history. A defect on the left thoracic wall was noted and an X-ray and CT-scan of the thorax showed osteolysis of the 3rd and 4th rib. Histopathology of surgical biopsies revealed non-malignant vascular proliferation consistent with Gorham's disease.
