Abstrakt:	Adamantinoma, an uncommon low-grade primary malignant bone tumor, rarely causes leg pain in adolescents and typically manifests in the lower extremities, with a notable preference for the tibia, although occurrences in other bones such as the femur, fibula, and pelvis have been documented. Instances of local recurrence and regional metastasis are infrequent. This case report aims to comprehensively review the clinical presentation, imaging features, histological findings, and management of adamantinoma. The presented case involves a 17-year-old male patient with a four-year history of edema and discomfort in the right anterior leg. Radiographic examination of the proximal tibia revealed a well-defined, expansile lytic-sclerotic lesion with multiple septae and a partially sclerotic border. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the nature of the lesion, and a biopsy, followed by histological analysis, confirmed the diagnosis of adamantinoma. This case highlights the significance of a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing close collaboration among radiology, pathology, and orthopedic oncology in adamantinoma management. Long-term follow-up is imperative for monitoring recurrence and administering timely therapy. The objective of this case report is to contribute to an improved understanding of adamantinoma and offer guidance on the treatment of this uncommon bone tumor.
