DEF

Tumeur maligne, généralement localisée, constituée essentiellement de plages de cellules d'apparence épithéliale qu'entoure un tissu de cellules fusiformes.

CONT

Adamantinome des os longs. C'est une curieuse tumeur qui ressemble à l'adamantinome du maxillaire. Elle ne se rencontre guère qu'au niveau de la diaphyse du tibia. [...] Sa pathogénie reste discutée : on parle tour à tour de néoplasme né de vestiges épithéliaux, de métaplasie pseudo-épithéliale, et d'origine vasculaire ou synoviale.
