adamantinoma

Adamantinoma is a low grade malignant tumor that usually develops in the long bones, with the tibia being the most common site. It is marked by a unique appearance on a microscopic level, showing both an epithelial component and an osteofibrous component. People with this condition often present with swelling, which may sometimes be accompanied by pain. The tumor is known to recur if not treated with radical surgery, and in some cases, it can spread to other parts of the body such as the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, brain, or skeleton.

Common symptoms include swelling, which may or may not be painful. Information on other symptoms is limited.

Information about causes is currently limited for this condition.

Treatment generally involves radical surgery, as most cases tend to recur if the tumor is not completely removed. Information about additional treatment options is limited.

The prognosis depends largely on the completeness of the surgical removal. Without radical surgery, the tumor often recurs and, in some cases, may spread to other parts of the body.

Information about current research and future directions is currently limited for this condition.
