Abstract
Adamantinoma of long bones is a malignant primitive bone tumor with epithelial origin, involving the tibia in a great majority of cases. It is a rare neoplasm with less than 200 cases reported in the world literature. The authors report four cases of tibial adamantinoma and describe the clinical, imaging and histologic features of this neoplasm with emphasis on preoperative imaging, surgical treatment and post-operative follow-up.
