Abstract
Gorham disease (GD) is a rare osteolytic condition of unknown etiology that causes spontaneous, progressive bone resorption. The maxillofacial area is one of the regions most frequently involved in this disease. GD is characterized by its aggressiveness and rarity; therefore, the treatment modalities remain controversial, and no specific treatment method has been proved effective. The present report describes a case of GD with massive craniofacial bone involvement that was treated effectively using a combination of 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin, with 10Â years of follow-up.
