Popis: Patient. This report describes a patient with a primary long bone adamantinoma. The lesion was initially wrongly diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia and the patient was treated by curettage. At second local recurrence, the tumour had progressed from an osteofibrous dysplasia-like to a full-blown classic adamantinoma, with metastatic potential to the lungs 19 years after the initial treatment. Lung metastasectomy by sternotomy was carried out twice in a period of over 312 years. The patient is currently alive without evidence of other metastatic disease.
