This benign self-limiting condition may affect any group of age and may involve any part of the skeletal system. Forty cases of GSD of the shoulder have been reported in the literature with only twenty-three cases involving humerus. We hereby report the case of a 49-year-old gentleman with Gorham-Stout Disease of the humerus.
