Description: Adamantinoma is a rare tumor, and its origin remains controversial. Fischer first described the tumor in 1913, and since then, only approximately 200 cases have been reported. The tumor occurs almost exclusively in the long bones; tumors in the tibia account for more than 80% of cases. The diaphyseal region is the area most commonly affected.
