Vanishing bone disease aka Gorham- Stout disease is a rare entity of unknown aetiology, with no definite gender, race or sex predilection. It is characterised by destruction of osseous matrix and proliferation of vascular structures resulting in destruction and resorption of bone. It is usually monostotic, but can be polyostotic. Symptomatology is varied and depends on the site of involvement. We present a case and a short review of aetiopathogenesis, the radiological evolution of this rare condition and the therapeutic options available till date.
