Adamantinoma appears as a well-circumscribed, slightly expansile lesion, usually with a narrow zone of transition, a finding consistent with its indolent nature. It is often multilocular, with sclerosis and lysis seen in a ‘soap bubble’ pattern. The lesion is typically oriented longitudinally along the anterior tibial diaphysis, with an average length of 10 cm.

These three comparable lesions behave very differently in their natural history, however: OFD tends to progress through the first decade of life, stabilizing during the second and often healing or resolving spontaneously thereafter. Treatment, therefore, is rarely indicated except in exceptional circumstances of severe progressive deformity. The progression of OFD-like adamantinoma (OFD with small clusters of keratin-positive cells) to adamantinoma has been reported but OFD-like adamantinoma seldom, if ever, results in metastases, which differentiates it from adamantinoma.

Adamantinoma is a low-grade malignant tumor with epithelial differentiation and a marked predilection to be located in the tibia. This tumor resembles the more prevalent ameloblastoma of the jawbone. Adamantinoma usually affects adolescents and young adults, however, a study done by Moon and Mori reports a mean age of 32.9 years [1,2]. Symptoms include swelling and local pain; 33% of patients have had symptoms for longer than five years [1,3].
