Gorham's disease is a rare musculoskeletal disease which causes progressive osteolysis and is characterized by massive bone destruction due to proliferation of vascular elements along with a great number of osteoclasts. The etiology of the disease is unknown. Gorham's disease is essentially rare in the forearm bones. As far as we know, only 2 cases of Gorham's disease of the forearm have been reported with 1 of them in the radius and the other starting in the radius and spreading to the lower portion of the humerus.
