## Abstract

Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare bone disease characterized by an abnormal proliferation of endothelial-lined vessels and destruction of the affected bone. As it affects commonly children and young adults, it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. To date, there is no established treatment strategy for GSD.

We report through this observation a rare case of GSD in a child located in the hip and the iliac crest.

A síndrome de Gorham-Stout (SGS) é uma doença óssea rara caracterizada pela proliferação anormal de vasos endoteliais e destruição do osso acometido. Por ser comum em crianças e adultos jovens, causa morbidade e mortalidade significativas. Até o momento, não há estratégia terapêutica estabelecida para a SGS.

Relatamos um caso raro de SGS no quadril e na crista ilíaca de uma criança.
