Adamantinoma of long bones combined with giant cell tumor of bone: a case report and literature review

Adamantinoma of long bone (AD) and giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) typically present as solitary bone lesions. It is extremely rare for both types of tumors to occur simultaneously in one patient. This article reports a 17-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital due to right knee pain. Imagery suggested that the lower of the right femur and the upper of the right tibia had undergone bone destruction with the formation of soft tissue shadows. The clinicians diagnosed bone tumors and perform tumor curettage. The postoperative pathological diagnosis of the right femur lesion was GCTB, and the right tibia lesion was AD. The postoperative recovery was favorable, and no recurrence or metastasis so far. In this paper, we review the relevant literatures and summarize the clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, pathomorphological features, and treatment modalities of GCTB and AD.
