Adamantinoma of tibia: A case report

Introduction: Adamantinoma is one of the rarest low-grade malignant bone tumors, representing 0.4% of them with only around 300 documented case of it. Case Report: We reported a rare case of primary adamantinoma of the tibia in a 35-year-old Indonesian mongoloid female which recurred after excision of the primary tumor 7 years prior to admission. Conclusion: Adamantinoma is hard to metastasize except in the case of repeated and unsatisfying removal procedure. Wide local excision with a substantial margin of normal bone can be applied if early diagnosis is successfully made. If there has been more than one recurrence or in large tumor with extension to the surrounding soft tissues, radical resection or amputation is advisable. After radical treatment, there is a high percentage of healing. The main factor of recurrence is incomplete resection.
