Fig. 1A. 38-year-old man with classic adamantinoma of tibia.
Radiologic diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia was established at 2 years old in
1961. At 6 years old, he had fracture, and anterior bowing developed after
cast removal. Three years after en bloc resection in 1996, he developed
recurrent tumor and lung metastases and died. Sagittal spin-echo T1-weighted
image reveals anterior bowing of tibia due to presence of multinodular tumor
with intermediate signal intensity showing extensive corticomedullary
involvement and anterior soft-tissue extension (arrow).

Fig. 1B. 38-year-old man with classic adamantinoma of tibia.
Radiologic diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia was established at 2 years old in
1961. At 6 years old, he had fracture, and anterior bowing developed after
cast removal. Three years after en bloc resection in 1996, he developed
recurrent tumor and lung metastases and died. Sagittal spin-echo T1-weighted
image obtained after administration of contrast medium shows homogeneous
enhancement (same orientation as A).

Fig. 1C. 38-year-old man with classic adamantinoma of tibia.
Radiologic diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia was established at 2 years old in
1961. At 6 years old, he had fracture, and anterior bowing developed after
cast removal. Three years after en bloc resection in 1996, he developed
recurrent tumor and lung metastases and died. Axial spin-echo T1-weighted
gadopentetate dimeglumineenhanced image with fat suppression shows
complete cortical destruction and soft-tissue extension (arrow). F =
fibula.

Fig. 1D. 38-year-old man with classic adamantinoma of tibia.
Radiologic diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia was established at 2 years old in
1961. At 6 years old, he had fracture, and anterior bowing developed after
cast removal. Three years after en bloc resection in 1996, he developed
recurrent tumor and lung metastases and died. Photomicrographs of lesion after
resection show bulging and thinning of cortical bone (C, D) by tumor
(T, D) and cortical breakthrough and invasion of surrounding thickened
periosteum (P, E). (H and E, x50)

Fig. 1F. 38-year-old man with classic adamantinoma of tibia.
Radiologic diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia was established at 2 years old in
1961. At 6 years old, he had fracture, and anterior bowing developed after
cast removal. Three years after en bloc resection in 1996, he developed
recurrent tumor and lung metastases and died. Photomicrograph of center of
tumor after resection shows classic adamantinoma, strings of epithelial cells
(arrow) embedded in fibrous tissue. (H and E, x100)

Fig. 2A. 6-year-old boy with classic adamantinoma of tibia and fibula.
Sagittal spin-echo T1-weighted images show multiple lesions in both anterior
and posterior cortical bone and in bone marrow compartment of tibia
(arrows). Note lesion in distal fibula (arrowhead).

Fig. 2B. 6-year-old boy with classic adamantinoma of tibia and fibula.
On coronal spin-echo T1-weighted images with fat-selective presaturation after
contrast medium administration, lesions show intense enhancement and are well
demarcated.

Fig. 2C. 6-year-old boy with classic adamantinoma of tibia and fibula.
Photograph of histologic macrosection in this specific sagittal plane shows
similar anterior cortical bowing of tibia with two tumor foci; one (middle
part) with intramedullary extension and one (distal) mainly intracortical.

Fig. 3. 20-year-old woman with adamantinoma of tibia.
Gadolinium-enhanced sagittal T1-weighted images with fat-selective
presaturation show lesion consisting of multiple small nodules within anterior
cortical bone of diaphysis (arrow). Separate focus is seen in
proximal epiphysis (arrowhead).

Fig. 4A. 29-year-old woman with osteofibrous dysplasia-like
adamantinoma of tibia. Axial spin-echo T2-weighted image with fat suppression
shows well-demarcated single lobulated lesion in thickened anterior cortical
bone with high signal intensity. No cortical breakthrough is noted.

Fig. 4D. 29-year-old woman with osteofibrous dysplasia-like
adamantinoma of tibia. Photomicrograph of resected specimen shows
intracortical osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma composed of
osteofibrous tissue with woven bone trabeculae (center) rimmed by osteoblasts.
No epithelial component is visible at plain section. (H and E, x50)

Eccentric relatively well-demarcated intracortical lesion in anterior tibia
diaphysis shows pattern of mixed lysis and sclerosis and geographic
destruction.
