Abstract
- A 45-year-old male patient with spontaneous chylothorax and osteolysis in the right 1st and 2nd ribs was diagnosed with Gorham–Stout disease based on clinical manifestations and bone biopsy. The chylothorax temporarily decreased after a successful selective lymphatic embolization. The patient presented with recurrent chylothorax, mild chest discomfort, and progressive osteolysis (despite administering sirolimus) during the follow-up period of 15 months.
