The paper provides a detailed description of the two cases of one of the rarest diseases - Gorham-Stout syndrome. This syndrome is accompanied by the massive osteolysis of various sites of a bone tissue. The literary review is done. The isolated osteolysis of the separate bone parts is a non-malignant process, and it goes without abnormalities of its functions. The combination of osteolysis with chylothorax is an unfavorable process. The treatment of this disease is possible only by calcitonin or bisphosphonates.
