1/69. Intraosseous glomus tumor of the fibula.glomus tumor is a rare, benign vascular tumor and intraosseous glomus tumor, which arises primarily within bone, is even rarer. Fewer than 20 cases have been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman with glomus tumor primarily in the midshaft of the fibula that radiologically mimicked chondromyxoid fibroma, aneurysmal bone cyst or adamantinoma, together with a review of other reported cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = adamantinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/69. adamantinoma and meningioma occurring synchronously in a patient with breast cancer: a case report.Screening mammography of a woman with no symptoms led to the diagnosis of carcinoma of the breast, an intracranial meningioma, and adamantinoma of the right tibia. This is the first reported case of three synchronous primary tumors of different tissue origins. biopsy is essential for diagnosing or excluding primary tumor(s) in cases of suspected metastases occurring at a limited number of sites.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = adamantinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/69. adamantinoma of the tibia in a nine-year-old child.adamantinoma of the long bones is a rare, low-grade malignancy with a marked predilection for the tibia and is usually seen in patients during the second to fifth decades of life. Adamantinomas have also been reported in children, but the histological pattern in this age group is different from that seen in adults. We report a case of adamantinoma of the tibia in a 9-year-old boy. Histologically, the lesion was osteofibrous dysplasia with an epithelial component, called "differentiated adamantinoma". An osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma (differentiated adamantinoma) may be the precursor lesion of the classic type of adamantinoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = adamantinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/69. magnetic resonance imaging of tibial classic adamantinoma at 2 tesla.adamantinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm arising most often in the tibia and is locally aggressive. Conservative surgical treatment frequently is followed by recurrence and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays an important role in preoperative planning. Magnetic resonance features of this tumor have not been described in detail. We report three cases of classic tibial adamantinoma examined at 2 Tesla. High-resolution images with findings that may influence management are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = adamantinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/69. Classic adamantinoma with osteofibrous dysplasia-like foci and secondary aneurysmal bone cyst.adamantinoma, a rare bone lesion of the tibia and fibula, has two distinct variants, classic adamantinoma and osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma. Composite lesions have not been described. Aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign cystic lesion which may also occur in the tibia and fibula. We report an unusual case of classic adamantinoma with osteofibrous dysplasia-like areas and foci of secondary aneurysmal bone cyst with prominent giant cells. A lesion was diagnosed in a 17-year-old girl with a 14-year history of a slowly enlarging left tibial mass and increasing deformity. Pathologically, the predominant pattern was classic adamantinoma, with minor foci of osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma and areas of secondary aneurysmal bone cyst with abundant multinucleated giant cells. We report the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of this case, and summarize lesions associated with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst. To our knowledge, the association of adamantinoma with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst has not been previously reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 10keywords = adamantinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/69. CD99 positive adamantinoma of the ulna with ipsilateral discrete osteofibrous dysplasia.An adamantinoma is a rare, low-grade malignant, osteolytic bone tumor occurring predominantly in the diaphysis of the tibia. Osteofibrous dysplasia has been suggested as a precursor lesion to adamantinoma. Evidence for the relationship between these two tumors is based on their similar histologic features, immunohistochemistry, shared clonal abnormalities, overlapping skeletal distribution, and simultaneous occurrence in the tibia and fibula. The ulna is an unusual site of involvement by adamantinoma and osteofibrous dysplasia. Simultaneous involvement of the ulna by adamantinoma and ossifying fibroma has not been previously reported. A case is presented of an adamantinoma of the distal ulna with unique pathologic features occurring with an ipsilateral discrete focus of osteofibrous dysplasia as additional evidence of the relationship between these two lesions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 9keywords = adamantinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/69. adamantinoma of tibia: a case of late local recurrence along with lung metastases.Adamantinomas of long bones are rare primary low-grade malignant tumours composed of cells with epithelial and fibrous characteristics. Local recurrence, though scarce, occurs 5-15 years after the onset of diagnosis. We report a case of local recurrence of an adamantinoma localised in tibia, along with the presence of two lung metastases, 24 years after diagnosis and surgical therapy of the primary tumour. The local recurrence and the lung metastases were removed surgically. The patient remains free of the disease for 3 years.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = adamantinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/69. adamantinoma. A case report with aspiration cytology and differential diagnostic and immunohistochemical considerations.Fine needle aspiration biopsy of bone lesions is routinely used in the metastatic workup of patients with radiographically suspicious areas. However, caution must be used when interpreting smears from aspirates performed on primary bone neoplasms. These tumors are often heterogeneous, and problems with sampling may be encountered. We report a case of a 25-year-old male who presented with a 3-cm lytic lesion in the tibia. A diagnosis of benign fibroosseous lesion was based on the clinical presentation, radiographic appearance and presence of numerous sheets and single cytologically bland spindle cells. Subsequent curettage of the specimen revealed an adamantinoma with a prominent fibrous component. Most of these rare, locally aggressive neoplasms are located in the tibia. They are characterized histologically as having a fibrous background with islands of basaloid, spindle or squamoid cells. Furthermore, a differentiated, regressing variant with an osteofibrous dysplasia-like appearance also exists. Smears consisting primarily of spindle cells or fibrous tissue may lead to an erroneous diagnosis of a fibrohistiocytic neoplasm, fibrous dysplasia, fibrous cortical defect or ossifying fibroma. Pertinent cytomorphologic features should aid in establishing the correct diagnosis of adamantinoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = adamantinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/69. Dedifferentiated adamantinoma with revertant mesenchymal phenotype.In adamantinoma of long bones, an osteofibrous dysplasia-like form with scattered epithelial elements and a classic form with abundant epithelium are distinguished. Osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinomas occur in children and adolescents and behave relatively benign, whereas classic adamantinomas predominate in adults and have a more aggressive clinical course. Because some osteofibrous dysplasia-like tumors have progressed to classic adamantinomas, it is hypothesized that the former is a potential precursor of the latter, showing mesenchymal-to-epithelial transformation. We report a new morphologic variant of adamantinoma in three patients with sarcomatoid transformation of the epithelial component: one in a primary tumor and two in local recurrences. One patient died of metastatic disease. Histologically, the tumors showed loss of the original characteristic epithelial differentiation with transition to fields of highly pleomorphic cells without epithelial features, high mitotic count, and deposition of osteoid and chondroid matrix. These dedifferentiated areas showed pankeratin positivity as well, although there were some changes in keratin subclass profile compared with other classic adamantinomas. This peculiar variant of long bone adamantinoma shows that in addition to mesenchymal-to-epithelial transformation in the early stage of development, progression to an aggressive subtype may be associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition ("sarcomatoid dedifferentiation"), in which the epithelial immunophenotype is conserved. Thereby it may serve as an example of the plasticity of the mesenchymal phenotype. When confronted with a biopsy of a cortical tumor of the tibia showing sarcomatoid morphology and keratin positivity, adamantinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis, as its distinction has important implications for treatment and prognosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 12keywords = adamantinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
