Massive osteolysis is a rare disorder characterized by continuous and progressive resorption of bone. The first definitive report of massive osteolysis was made by Gorham and Stout in 1955. Subsequently, 23 cases involving the maxillofacial region have been reported. Most of the reported cases involve the mandible or both the mandible and maxilla. We describe our experience with our second case of massive osteolysis involving only the maxilla. This report describes this case and reviews the literature.
