Adamantinoma is a rare malignant tumor and approximately 85% of cases occur in the tibia. In 1985, Moon and Mori reviewed the world literature and identified 195 cases. A 59-year-old woman was presented with nonspecific pain on left leg after trauma. Radiographic finding showed well-circumscribed soap bubble appearance with areas of sclerosis in diaphyseal region of the tibia. Magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy was performed for diagnosis. Histologically, the lesion was compatible with adamantinoma. Wide resection with bone graft was performed. There was no recurrence at 3 years follow-up. We report a case of adimantinoma that arose in diaphyseal region of the tibia with review of literature.

Ossifying fibroma is one of a group of fibro-osseous lesions which arises typically within the jaw bones and only rarely affects the long bones. Ossifying fibroma of the long bones almost involve exclusively the tibia but may also involve the fibula. Ossifying fibroma of the long bones is distinct from fibrous dysplasia, adamantinoma and nonossifying fibroma with regard to age of the patient, site, radiographic appearance, histological features, and clinical course. We are reporting the cases of seven patients with a tumor-like lesion that named osteofibrous dysplasia. It is most commonly found in the tibia and fibula of a child ten years of age or younger. Of the seven cases reported in this study, only one patient was younger than ten years. In all cases, the lesions were usually located in the tibial diaphysis. The average duration of clinical manifestation was 5.2 years. The clinical symptoms were anterior bowing of the tibia in 2 cases, buldging of the tibia in 2 cases, and mass overlying the tibia in 3 cases. On the roentgenography, it shows multiple radiolucent lesion with intervening sclerotic rim of the tibial diaphysis. In seven patients, 6 cases were confirmed with biopsy. We had done curettage and bone graft in three cases, VFG was done in one case. The other three cases underwent conservative management.
