Abstract
Disappearing bone disease is a rare condition manifested by massive osteolysis. Its etiology is unknown. Histologically, involved bones show a nonmalignant proliferation of thin-walled vessels. The mechanism of bone absorption remains unclear. No treatment has proven effective in arresting the disease. Cases in which there is extraosseous involvement have a much poorer prognosis.Keywords
