Gorham-Stout Disease: Hand Involvement in an 8-Year-Old Child

A right-handed 8-year-old girl with an unremarkable medical history consulted for a painful, swollen left hand, with a large area of edema on the dorsal aspect. There were no signs of erythema, trauma, fever, or an inflammatory syndrome. A radiographic assessment revealed osteolysis of the diaphysis of the fourth metacarpal. Bone scintigraphy showed localized uptake at the fourth metacarpal. Magnetic resonance imaging displayed T1 hypointensity and T2 hyperintensity at the fourth metacarpal and the surrounding soft tissue.
