Gorham-Stout syndrome, is an extremely rare disease of the bone, characterized for vascular and lymphatic channels proliferation in bony segments and consequent osseous resorption. There are around 200 cases reported around the world. Although bisphosphonates are used for symptoms relief, there is no standardized treatment established. We present a case that was diagnosed in our centre secondary to a resistant epistaxis and a literature review of this condition.
